In this study, to investigate the effects of runoff harvesting on soil properties in the semiarid forest, runoff harvesting through semi-circular bund was considered as a method to conserve soil and thereby combat tree mortality. In order to evaluate this hypothesis, runoff was harvested through the semi-circular bund affecting soil quality and moisture storage. The selected forest site is loca...

This study investigates percolation and seepage through the bunds of flat and terraced paddies. Field experiments were conducted in Hsin-Pu of Hsin-Chu County, Taiwan, to measure the soil water content of various types of bund. Measurements revealed that the soil was unsaturated along the sloped surface of the terrace. Experimental results also indicated that seepage face flow did not develop e...

The polycentric Rhine-Main mega-city region experiences changing spatial relations associated with the globalising service economy (as shown in the previous regional reports for POLYNET actions 1.1, 1.2, and 2). The POLYNET action 3.1 aims at understanding how official policies react to these changes at national, regional and local levels, and how these policies relate to ESDP and NW Europe pol...

Prevalence of indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli and pathogenic bacteria like Vibrio Cholerae, Vibrio Parahaemolyticus and Salmonella were analysed in Vembanadu lake (9035'n 76025'e), along the west coast of India for a period of one year (October 20042005 September). Estuarine water samples were taken monthly from ten stations on the southern (inside bund region) and northern sides (o...

This paper presents the “GelegeApp”, a software system that supports conservationists in surveying and protecting the clutches of waders. The system was developed based on a cooperation between Masters students of the University of Applied Sciences Bremen and the German Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND) Bremen and has been in use since spring 2016. Zusammenfassung De...

to take measures of safety. He rejected the old embankment and caused a new one to be constructed far away from the river side to the east of several villages between Harala and Kashra, a distance of more than two miles in length, and which still goes by his name. The villages ti the west of this bund during each overflow were allowed to suffer their destiny. The heavy losses suffered by the pe...

We analyze the time series of overnight returns for the bund and btp futures exchanged at liffe (London). The overnight returns of both assets are mapped onto a one–dimensional symbolic–dynamics random walk: The “bond walk”. During the considered period (October 1991—January 1994) the bund–future market opened earlier than the btp–future one. The crosscorrelations between the two bond walks, as...
