Obstacles and facilitations for the movement of fishes
by zopemaster published May 05, 2010 last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: ,
An inventory of all the artificial barriers that impede the flow of rivers has found out that French rivers are interrupted by 60,000 dams, weirs, locks, mills etc. The inventory has been recently published as a online map where the works are shown divided by department, municipality or watercourse. All these works obstruct the movement of migratory aquatic organisms and the transport of sediments, thereby affecting ecosystems.

Power plant expansion on the Lech at the expense of nature conservation?
by zopemaster published Nov 01, 2010 last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
The Lech river in Bavaria/D is already being used on a massive scale for electricity generation, and only the stretch at Augsburg/D remains undeveloped. But even this section of the river could very soon become the site of a hydroelectric power plant. The expansion plans are not an isolated case; rather, they reflect a trend throughout the Alps, and one that is gathering momentum.
