Описание: Can you tell your Sagittaria sagittifolia from your Apium nodiflorum? Who knows or cares? Well, botanists have to care, but the rest of us rarely need to. Most people like to just walk along a river bank. Do you ever notice the plants living there, and in the water?
Can you determine the health of a stream or river just by looking at it? This little book will help, as it takes the inquisitive walker along an illustrated journey of watery habitats and their vegetation. River plants have the advantage of being stationary. They do not swim or run away from observers. They are excellent bioindicators-showing life, health and structural conditions of a river. Learn to look and see, and identify the plant communities which live in a river near you. Hopefully you will be inspired to investigate further....

Описание:
This Book is a Prologue to the River Friend series of small books and is intended mainly for reference and as a picture guide to some common aquatic plants. Unlike the other books in the series, which concentrate on a particular riverine aspect, this book shows what some common British water plants look like, with colloquial and scientific (Latin) names, as well as a glossary of terms and bibliography for further reading. In the series we have endeavoured to minimise the use of scientific terminology wherever possible. Inevitably there will be a few terms unfamiliar to some readers, so we encourage you to jump into the glossary on page 20 of this book for clear definitions of riverine and riparian terms used throughout the series.
WHY THE BOOK?-"WATER IS NOT A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT LIKE ANY OTHER BUT IS A HERITAGE WHICH MUST BE PROTECTED, DEFENDED AND TREATED AS SUCH i.e. as Heritage]."
Just by existing, each of us makes rivers worse. Each person drinks, so uses up water, though some re-appears as polluted waste water. This may go quickly or slowly to the sea, and be slow or very slow to evaporate back into the sky as clouds and eventually rain. Each plant and animal also needs water, and again only some re-appears. Much is lost to the air (from where it eventually re-appears as rain, but probably not in the same place). Much, again, goes to the sea. Gone are the days when people went out with buckets and came back with the nice clean water they needed. People are just too many. When regulation fails, famine and disease strike. Water policy must be there to keep the population healthy, and transport and industry working well. The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) applies to all of us. It is the best shot by the EU to make our brooks, rivers, lakes and groundwater better: to give us cleaner water, safer water resources, and less damaged water patterns and processes-and a very good shot it is too What does the Directive recommend and require? Each nation (country, Member State) was required to transpose the Directive into its own national laws. As with much EU policy, the actions did not have to be done at once. It was to be brought in over time. And as with many laws, national or EU, not all parts are given the same weight or urgency by different groups of its audience. But all are in fact LAW...
