WATER MANAGERIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

The transportation - even those branches of it which are thought to ha.ve no immediate impact on the elements on the hydrological cycle - greatly influence the quality of the water resources. Polluting the air and the vicinity of the motorways the water bodies receive large amount of waste washed into them. Altering the runoff pattern is also very considerable and intrusion into the landscape has to be mentioned, too. Concentrating more on navigation, utilizing the advantages of the water body as a mean for transportation we had to look more into the details and the impacts of navigation on the water management are enumerated, too.
