The paper explores the institutional and social processes through which river and hydropower landscapes have emerged in Spanish water policy. It examines the relation between different types of policies and attitudes towards landscape, energy, water
and decentralization of Spanish politics and water policy and to the increasing prominence of environmental concerns.

The Soviet Union has thus far not been among the leading countries in solar energy research because of the high costs involved, the country's northern location and its seemingly ample fossil fuel reserves. In recent years, however, as future
supplies of Soviet oil have become more uncertain, interest in solar energy has accelerated. Research centers are concentrated in the south, especially in the Crimea, Armenia and Central Asia. Work focuses mainly on practical applications, such as solar
stills and ovens, water pumps, cooling systems, and space heating, as well as basic studies on more complex technologies such as photovoltaics, solar furnaces, and large central power stations.

Landsat thematic mapper data are used to estimate instantaneous regional-scale surface water and energy fluxes in a semi-arid Great Basin desert of the western United States. Results suggest that it is possible to scale from point measurements
of environmental state variables to regional estimates of water and energy exchange. This research characterizes the unifying thread in the classical climate-topography-soil-vegetation relation, the surface water and energy balance, through maps of the partitioning
of energy throughout the landscape. The study was conducted in Goshute Valley of northeastern Nevada.
By combination of century-old experiences with open dug wells and surface reservoirs with scientific techniques of ground water prospecting and supply of energy, evolutionarily an alternative water management system can be developed
. This will consist of surface reservoirs for ground water recharge, natural fractures and dykes for water transport, modern exploration techniques for their identification and traditional open dug wells as water sources. (L'A.).

Modelling the erosional susceptibility of catchments in terms of energy
This paper proposes a measure of the susceptibility of catchments to erosion, abbreviated Es, which respects the integrated impact of different processes : erosion by wind, by water and by mass movements.
