“…Interesting earlier typologies of water bodies considering various environmental and development attributes were proposed by Bernhardt in 1991, Peterken in 1996, and Peterken and Moss in 1988-1996. Their synthetic discussion with additions was presented by O'Sullivan [38]. In Bernhardt's typology, lake and reservoir use was juxtaposed against trophic status.…”

Planning Recreation around Water Bodies in Two Hard Coal Post-Mining Areas in Southern Poland

Green and blue infrastructure is a unique aspect of sustainable development in post-industrial and post-mining cities. The article examines the issue of the characteristic post-mining lake district in one of Europe’s largest urban and hard coal mining regions—the Katowice Conurbation in Southern Poland. This article aims to clarify the conditions and problems of developing post-mining water bodies as an element of blue and green infrastructure, with a particular focus on the issue of developing recreational functions. The latter aspect was analyzed using extensive CAVI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview)/CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing) surveys conducted among residents, in-depth stakeholder interviews, and strategic and planning document analysis. This research confirmed that residents and local authorities treat post-mining reservoirs as necessary for creating green and blue infrastructure. Recreational functions were perceived as one of the elements of urban policy, in which the preservation of valuable ecosystems created around reservoirs has the same place. An essential element of the research findings is also the typology of post-mining reservoirs presented here, which allows for a better understanding of the development dilemmas of these areas in a highly urbanized and post-mining area.

“…The bird populations of the Fleet as a whole, are clearly an important source of phosphorus, which for an aquatic site of such great nature conservation value, is not particularly surprising. Unlike sewage effluent, they are also, especially the Abbotsbury swans, part of the inherent value of the Fleet [13], and hence its attraction to human visitors.…”

“…In terms of its physical characteristics and biodiversity, the Fleet is also probably one of the most important coastal lagoons in Atlantic Europe, containing a large range of habitats and species, a wide variety of common and unusual lagoonal specialists (some of which are national rarities), and a high degree of 'naturalness' [12,13]. …”

Hindcasting of nutrient loadings from its catchment on a highly valuable coastal lagoon: the example of the Fleet, Dorset, UK, 1866–2004

Background: Nutrient loadings from its catchment upon The Fleet, a highly valuable coastal lagoon in Southern England, were hindcast for the period AD 1866-2004, using a catchment model, export coefficients, and historical data on land use changes, livestock numbers, and human population. Agriculture was the main nutrient source throughout, other inputs representing minor contributions. Permanent pasture was historically the main land use, with temporary grassland and cereals increasing during the mid-20th century. Sheep, the main 19th century livestock, were replaced by cattle during the 1930s.

“…Studies on the socio-economic aspects of pit lake formation and use are just beginning (D'Souza et al 2004;Hähnel 2016). As for lakes in general, quantifying the economic value of pit lakes is still challenging (Börger et al 2021;O'Sullivan 2005). Data to quantify the intensity of pit lake use, such as numbers of visitors, frequency and length of overnight stays, or fishing success are rarely collected and hard to find if existent.…”

Pit lakes are common features of open pit mining and can present significant risks, and yet can also provide beneficial end use opportunities. Many processes that influence the magnitude of these risks and opportunities remains poorly understood, which presents a challenge to pit lake closure and management. In this two-part manuscript, four pit lake subject matter experts from Germany, Canada, Australia, and the USA recommend focus areas for researchers (Part 1) and strategies to structurally improve the practice of pit lake closure for mining industry regulators and corporate sustainability officers (Part 2). In this Part 1, we recommend nine research areas, organized by order of physico-chemical and ecological complexity, where greater understanding of fundamental pit lake processes would lead to improved pit lake management and reuse. Our intent is to guide the direction of emerging and future pit lake research by academic and industry research teams, with funding and oversight from industry and government.
