Cel TO EVALUATE THE EXISTING DATA ON THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE RHINE AND RHONE WATERSHEDS IN ORDER TO ASSESS HUMAN IMPACT ON THESE SYSTEMS THE RHINE AND THE RHONE ARE TWO RIVERS VERY SIMILAR IN THEIR GEOLOGICAL, HYDROLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE CHEMISTRY OF THE WATER AND THE SUSPENDED MATTER WAS ORIGINALLY IDENTICAL IN THE TWO RIVER SYSTEMS. THE IMPACT OF CIVILISATION, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN QUITE DIFFERENT. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A DETAILED CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION OF BOTH RIVER SYSTEMS WILL BE HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND AND REDUCE PRESENT DAY POLLUTION. THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH WILL BE DONE: - CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE EXISTING DATA ON THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE RHINE AND RHONE WATERSHEDS (INCLUDING LAKES AND DELTAS); - ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISTINE CONDITIONS AND DESCRIPTION OF THE MAJOR CHANGES IN WATER CHEMISTRY THAT HAVE OCCURRED; - DESCRIPTION AND EXPLANATION OF DIFFERENCES IN SOIL MONERALOGY IN THE TWO DELTAS; - OBTAINMENT OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA ON THE SEDIMENTS AND SUSPENDED MATTER IN THE RIVER RHONE; Program(-y) PRE-ENVPROT 3C - Sectoral research and development programme (EEC) in the field of environment (environmental protection and climatology) - indirect and concerted actions - Environmental protection -, 1981-1985 Temat(-y) Data not available Zaproszenie do składania wniosków Data not available System finansowania CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Koordynator Station Biologique de la Tour du Valat Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 13200 Arles Francja Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych
