[ED: Softcover], [PU: Anchor Academic Publishing], Globally, freshwater ecosystems are considered to be under severe threat from human pressure and climate change (Vörösmarty et al., 2010). Malmqvist and Rundle (2002) suggest that running water is the most impacted upon ecosystem on Earth due to being surrounded by dense human settlements and exploited for domestic and industrial water supply, irrigation, electricity generation and waste disposal. For example, the progressive over-exploitation of surface water resources for irrigation and urban uses in the Colorado River Basin has resulted most years in no runoff reaching the river s delta (Gleick, 2003). [ ]Hereafter, natural and anthropogenic driving forces will be referred to as global and regional driving forces, respectively. The future effects of these forces up to the 2050s will be assessed in quantitative scenarios implemented in a hydrological model. It is believed that using this nomenclature (i.e. global and regional instead of natural and anthropogenic) better reflects considered environmental stressors, since global-scale driving forces will include not only climatic change but also changes in CO2, atmospheric carbon dioxide and plant physiological parameters, whereas regional-scale driving forces will include changes in land use, agriculture development and agricultural water management. Hence, the difference is that the first group of driving forces acts globally and independently on the study area, whereas the second group includes factors that are specific to the study area. Furthermore, in order to expand on the title of this thesis, impacts in the present study will be assessed not only on the flow regime as such, but also on its ecological functions, i.e. on the environmental flow regime. This is motivated mainly by the semi-natural character of the study area, that is unique in Poland and in Europe, but it also underlines the novelty of this thesis, as going beyond the pure impacts on the flow regime in a scenario-modelling framework is rare in hydrological science, if achieved at all.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2012 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, grade: with honours, , course: Impacts of natural and anthropogenic conditions on the hydrological regime of rivers: A Narew River Basin case study, language: English, abstract: The general aim of this thesis is to assess the impact of a multiple set of scenarios, describing changes of global- and regional-scale driving forces on the ecological functions of the flow regime. This general aim translates into three more specific research objectives: 1. A comprehensive spatial validation of a large-scale, semi-distributed hydrological model, to test its ability to assess spatial patterns in impacts on flow regime indicators. 2. A broad description of the water requirements of selected river-dependent biota and their parametrisation into indicators derivable using hydrological model output. 3. A spatially-distributed analysis of future impacts on environmental flow indicators under various model scenarios, derived from key local stakeholders' input, as well as based on downscaled projections of global change. The research undertaken to fulfil these objectives was carried out as part of a case study of the Narew River Basin, NE Poland. Although it is believed that the findings of this thesis are important, especially for the water management of the Narew River Basin, various approaches developed and adapted in this thesis are not limited to this area only but are applicable elsewhere. Impacts in the present study are assessed not only on the flow regime as such, but also on its ecological functions, i.e. on the environmental flow regime. This underlines the novelty of this thesis, as going beyond the pure impacts on the flow regime in a scenario-modelling framework is rare in hydrological science, if achieved at all.
