This report uses the OECD Principles on Water Governance as a tool for multi-stakeholder policy dialogue and practical assessment of the performance of flood governance systems. It applies the Principles to flood-prone contexts to help strengthen governance frameworks for managing the risks of “too much” water.
Derecho Público de la crisis economía y las reflexiones de los profesores de Derecho Administrativo, en el seno de la Asociación española que los reúne. Actas del VI Congreso, Palma de Mallorca, 11 y 12 de febrero de 2011
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the soils of Spain gathered by a variety of Spanish experts in the field. It presents soils in this country as particularly conditioned by the naturally diverse and drastic distribution of the Spanish landscape, characterized by mountainous ranges in the North, and arid areas in the South and the East. The first chapter sets the agricultural scenario in Spain as influenced by the Arabic culture and American agricultural products; the second chapter provides a classification and distribution of Spanish soils; the third chapter approaches the topic of soils in the characteristically humid Northern Iberia area as prone to diversity and soil evolution; the fourth focuses on the soils of the South and East of Spain as affected by lack of rainfall and abundance in calcic soil horizons; the fifth chapter deals with Mediterranean soils, having as a particular characteristic the dominance of red colors; and the last chapter discusses the challenges and future issues of Spanish soils.
Publicación derivada del Congreso celebrado en Santiago de Compostela, que reúne a la asociación española de profesores de derecho administrativo y que recoge el tema genérico de la regulacion de las costas
El Corredor de Migración de Cetáceos del Mediterráneo fue dotado con un régimen de protección espacial a nivel nacional, regional e internacional. La presente investigación aborda la hipótesis de que España debe introducir, a través del pendiente instrumento de gestión, un límite de velocidad vinculante de 10 nudos para todo el transporte marítimo que navega en estas aguas para reducir dos de las principales presiones para el cachalote y el rorcual común en esta zona, el ruido submarino y las colisiones. Las subpoblaciones del Mediterráneo de ambas especies están en peligro de extinción.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Todo grupo humano como conjunto de personas que forman parte de una comunidad, a lo largo su historia, almacena ciertas tradiciones o costumbres, y además los administran y gestionan de manera colectiva. Esto conlleva a engendrar su patrimonio cultural, que además del físico también se compone del inmaterial. De ahí que el presente estudio persiga analizar las técnicas de protección del patrimonio inmaterial y la cultura popular en el Derecho internacional, en Europa y en España.
Climate and anthropogenic changes impact the conditions of erosion and sediment transport in rivers. Rainfall variability and, in many places, the increase of rainfall intensity have a direct impact on rainfall erosivity. Increasing changes in demography have led to the acceleration of land cover changes in natural areas, as well as in cultivated areas, and, sometimes, in degraded areas and desertified landscapes. These anthropogenized landscapes are more sensitive to erosion. On the other hand, the increase in the number of dams in watersheds traps a great portion of sediment fluxes, which do not reach the sea in the same amount, nor at the same quality, with consequences on coastal geomorp...
