Abstract

Cet ouvrage aborde une question d'intérêt capital et vital pour l'humanité en général et pour l'Afrique en particulier : la gestion des ressources en eau douce internationales. La première partie de l'ouvrage donne un aperçu général sur l'évolution du droit des cours d'eau internationaux, un accent étant mis sur les développements récents, à la lumière du projet d'articles adopté en seconde lecture en 1994 par la Commission du droit international, sur le droit relatif aux utilisations des cours d'eau internationaux à des fins autres que la navigation. Le régime qu'elle a préconisé a déjà fait école. À titre d'exemple, la Banque Mondiale dans son Règlement de 1989 sur le financement des projets de mise en valeur hydro-électrique des bassins fluviaux. Mais, comme le démontre la deuxième partie de l'ouvrage, le développement du droit des cours d'eau internationaux a notamment tiré profit du système juridique régional africain, fondé sur la technique du développement intégré des ressources en eau partagées par plusieurs États. Le régime de lege ferenda du bassin du Congo-Zaïre, pour lequel la survivance de l'ancien régime de Berlin (1885) et de Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919) paraît douteuse, s'aligne sur le modèle de gestion des fleuves comme le Niger et le Sénégal. Cela ressort des projets élaborés par la Commission économique des Nations unies pour l'Afrique et actuellement en cours de négociation entre les États riverains. Enfin, sur le plan de la théorie générale, l'ensemble de l'ouvrage permet à la fois de saisir l'enrichissement du droit des cours d'eau internationaux par d'autres branches du droit international comme le droit de l'environnement et le droit du développement, et de mesurer le rôle joué par le régionalisme africain dans le développement du droit international fluvial.

Abstract

This book presents five articles that are also part of a Special Issue titled: Modelling of River flows, Sediment and Contaminants Transport published in the Water Journal under the section: Water Erosion and Sediment Transport. It covers a wide range of topics, such as predicting the impacts of wildfires on sediment transport and water quality in a mountainous region and estimating the sediment erosion due to release of ice-jams in cold region rivers.

Abstract

This book celebrates the ten-year anniversary of the Barcelona Expert Center by presenting recent contributions related to the topics on which the team has been working during these years. The Barcelona Expert Center expertise covers a wide variety of remote sensing fields, but the main focus of the research is on the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) data processing and its ocean, land, and ice applications. This book contains 14 scientific papers addressing topics that range from the description of the new data processing algorithms that are implemented in the last version of the operational SMOS Level 1 processor, to scientific applications derived from SMOS: results on the sea surface salinity assimilation in coastal models; synergies of the sea surface salinity with temperature and chlorophyll, and their impact on the better retrieval of ocean surface currents; quality assessment of SMOS derived sea ice thickness; sea surface salinity; and soil moisture products, among others. Moreover, one of the papers verifies the potential of the future CIMR mission within the CMEMS SSS operational production after the SMOS era.

Abstract

The atmospheric part of the water cycle is accelerating, affecting hydrological dynamics, especially in tropical and Mediterranean areas, where landscapes, soils and territories are particularly vulnerable to global warming and land use changes. Across four continents and a dozen of different regions or basins, this SI strives to highlight the environmental and societal vulnerabilities and their links with the water cycle. The basins of three of the greatest basins in the world in terms of streamflows—the Amazon River, the Orinoco River and the Congo River—show their unexpected behaviors. This book aims to present past and present status to improve future land and water management.
