Hydromorphological river assessment of degraded land in the region of open cast mines
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
River and floodplains form one of the most valuable elements of the surrounding landscape. Over the centuries, anthropogenic impacts have led to numerous transformations of river ecosystem. Following this study, river beds noted the need for corrective action and renaturalisation. Therefore, there was a need to assess the current state of watercourses. This assessment is designed to identify transformed and degraded sections on which appropriate corrective action should be taken. Such studies were conducted in the area of quarries PGE KWB Turow. The studies included an assessment of hydromorphological state of the following rivers:The Lusatian Neisse to the mouth of the Miedzianka and Miedzianka river.<br/><br/>
