Institutional structures, water management issues and water monitoring  problems are analyzed, with special reference to international waters,  using characteristic case studies, including the Sava River, Lake  Ohrid, The Nestos\/Mesta River, the Neretva River estuary, and coastal  waters in Turkey. Contributions written by experts from France, the UK  and the USA demonstrate state-of-the-art electronic networking and the  management of distributed water databases. \u003cbr\u003e  The protection of water resources in the Balkans has become a high  profile issue since the collapse of communism in the area, the break  up of former Yugoslavia, and ethnic tensions in Kosovo. Transboundary  river pollution and the development of international water basins call  demand urgent regional co-operation, which will be facilitated by the  International Network of Water-Environment Centres for the Balkans,  the initiation of which is described in the final conclusions of the  book.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 September 2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792365563\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e254\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803466043532,"sku":"9780792365563","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792365563.jpg?v=1781753185","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792365563","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
