| Description | Complete drying of small streams (up to Strahler order 4), which typically occurs in the Mediterranean type of climate, has occurred more frequently also in Central Europe in last decades. Many limnologists from this region have deliberately neglected intermittent streams because of their unstable hydrological regime, which complicates not only standard sampling but especially the interpretation of results. The forthcoming climate change brings to this region a new situation, which requires novel methods and approaches to be developed especially for regularly drying up streams. During the workshop were presented different approaches to drought indication using aquatic macroinvertebrates, to dataloggers use, to constructions of drought risk maps and experimental equipment for laboratory tests. |
