This volume provides a comprehensive overview of environmental aspects of the Sava River, which is the greatest tributary to the Danube River and the major drainage river system of South Eastern Europe. Hydroelectric power plants, river traffic, intensive agricultural activities, heavy industry and floods have considerable influence on the environment and biota in the basin. Summarizing the results that were gathered in the course of EU, bilateral and national projects, the book highlights the most important stressors and helps readers to better understand the impact of anthropogenic activities on the function of river basins. Topics include: transboundary water cooperation between the riparian countries; climate change projection, including its impact on flood hazards; evaluation of anthropogenic pollution sources; pollution of sediments, metal bioavailability and ecotoxicological and microbiological characterization of the river. The biological part also addresses quality aspects related to wildlife in river aquatic ecosystems (algae, macrophytes, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates and fish) and riparian ecosystems (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). The general state of biodiversity and pressures caused by invasive aquatic species are also discussed.

Transboundary water cooperation for sustainable development of the Sava River Basin.- Climate change impact on flood hazard in the Sava River Basin.- Climate projections for the Sava River Basin.- Integrated approach to the evaluation of chemical dynamics and anthropogenic pollution sources in the Sava River Basin.- Elements and persistent organic pollutants in the sediments of the Sava River.- Metal bioavailability in the Sava River water.- Potentiometric determination of anionic and nonionic surfactants in surface waters and wastewaters.- Ecotoxicological characterization of the Sava River - biomarker responses and biological assays.-Microbial characterization of the Sava River.- Algal communities along the Sava River.- Aquatic and wetland vegetation along the Sava River.- Zooplankton community along the Sava River.- Aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Sava River.- Ichthyofauna of the River Sava System.-Fauna of the Riparian Ecosystems - Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals.- Genotoxicological studies of lower stretch of the Sava River.- Indicative status assessment, biodiversity conservation and protected areas within the Sava River Basin.
