“…Most of these agreements either refer specifically to the UNECE Water Convention as their "parental" instrument or adopt terminology and various provisions of the Convention's general rules as well as legal principles guiding actions of national public authorities and individuals (Wouters and Vinogradov 2003;Keessen et al 2008;Tanzi et al 2015).…”

Since elements of nature and society interact to determine the integrity and trajectory of these systems, they are referred to hereafter as socialecological systems (SESs). This introduction opens the door to these topics in four steps. It begins by explaining why a book dedicated to river management and science is needed at this point. In the second part, it outlines the history of some of the major developments that challenge the integrity of SESs worldwide. In the third part, it describes several of the principal tools used to study as well as manage SES. Tools to measure the degree of degradation of an SES include indicators of biological integrity, ecosystem health, and resilience. Tools to assess and manage the trajectory of an SES include the DPSIR and adaptive management. The introduction closes by outlining the structure of the book through the progression of its chapters. Justification of BookRivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. For more than a centur...

SummaryThe European Union (EU) is determined to find integrated solution for common problems like environmental challeges and water management. Finding solution for common challenges requires trust and cooperation from every actor involved. This is the basic principle of EU on the question of water management. Meanwhile, an effective handling of the same problem requires stong cooperation and unity in execution that is the adoption of the same goals is not enought, the administration also needs some kind of interrelation. However, the difference in competences of EU legislation on these different but strongly attached legal areas can lead to an insignificant result or just degrade the efficiency of the cooperation.The paper aims to reveal the mass lofty goals and their realisation in the view of administrative reality and future prospects in a Hungarian point of view.

“…On both sides of the border there are zinc factories belonging to the same company. The directive concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC directive) and the Dangerous substances directive 14 regulate the factories and both directives 15 have been transposed 12 Of course, these conventions have been concluded by States, but their aim is mainly to create some possibilities for transboundary cooperation between regional authorities. 13 The case of the River Dommel is currently being researched by J. into the national laws of Flanders and the Netherlands.…”

“…The accompanying structures mostly stem from bilateral or trilateral conventions, secondary EC law, and other kinds of formal and informal agreements and are meant for cooperation between regional authorities, including water management authorities. 12 This is mostly suitable for cooperation in water management at a practical level, i.e. the final phase of taking concrete measures and other management actions in transboundary water systems.…”

The need for international and regional transboundary cooperation in European river basin management as a result of new approaches in EC water law

2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With the introduction of the Water Framework Directive in 2001, EC water law adopted both a governance approach and a river basin approach. These new approaches are characterised by a high level of proceduralisation and by dividing the EU territory into river basins. These characteristics emphasise the need for transboundary cooperation in water management, both on the international and the regional level. Although there is a long tradition of transboundary cooperation on the international level, this level has its difficulties and limits, which urges the need for regional transboundary cooperation in river basin management. There are several instruments available to shape cooperation at the regional level, but there is still little experience in cooperation between water management authorities at that level. After describing current transitions in EC water law, we explore some instruments and their possibilities for transboundary cooperation on both levels, with a slight tendency toward the regional level.
