Investigation on heat and water balance in agricultural landscape were carried out of for six years. The impact of plants cover and habitat moisture on structure of heat and water balances was studied. Observations of micrometeorological parameters
were carried out during field expedition using the system of automatic measurement and recording. Temporal and spatial characteristics of heat and water balances in different ecosystem located in different climatic zones were analysed. - (DG)

utilization of the water resources is the target for carrying out integrated planning and management, and the efforts are made, then all problems such as power demand, irrigation, flood, salt water intrusion as well as acid water erosion tosoil could be solved
This paper is an attempt to estimate the influence of minewater discharge from the hard coal mines of USCB on the shaping of the hydrochemical conditions of river waters, considering mostly salinity and the salt load removed from this area

The Ohře River is by its catchment area, flow and geographical position one of the most important Bohemian water courses (more than 300 km long). It drain the basin below Ore Mts affected by open brown coal mining, sulphur and nitrogen oxides
immissions. The indices of water quality are selected to register mainly local sources of pollution with the most influence. - (MS)

The monitored catchment area of Rakovnický potok Brook belongs to the Berounka-Vltava-Elbe River system. Impact of physic-geographical conditions and of anthropogenous activities in the region on the water component of the landscape has been
evaluated. An improvement of groundwater quality is conditioned by two points : to stop discharging of urban and industrial sewage waters of the Rakovník town and to eliminate the negative impact of pollution by taking appropriate antierosion

This paper will examine the Swedish programme of liming surface waters to remedy acidification damage as an example of the difficulties of applying a geographically generalized environmental policy to a specific region. After discussing
the implications of geographic variation in water quality for the Swedish liming programme, this paper considers the proper application of the precautionary principle when dealing with remedial measures such as liming.
An experimental study on the burrowing activity of river crabs on subsurface water movement and piping erosion

In this study, the effect of burrowing activity on subsurface water movement and piping erosion was studied in a flume experiment using cohesive soil. This laboratory observation on the interaction of burrowing activity of river crabs and subsurface
water movement may help in obtaining a better understanding of the effects of burrowing on geomorphic processes.
The objective of this study is to establish the climatological classification of Vietnam, based on the structure of heat and water balances. Data from 85 meteorological stations, for the period 1960-1975 were taken into account for determining mean
