AB  - Transport of hydrophobic pollutants in rivers such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals is often facilitated by suspended sediment particles, which are typically mobilized during high discharge events. Suspended sediments thus represent a means of transport for particle related pollutants within river reaches and may represent a suitable proxy for average pollutant concentrations estimation in a river reach or catchment. In this study, multiple high discharge/turbidity events were sampled at high temporal resolution in the Globaqua River Basins Sava (Slovenia, Serbia), Adige (Italy), and Evrotas (Greece) and analysed for persistent organic pollutants such as PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) or PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and heavy metals. For comparison, river bed sediment samples were analysed as well. Further, results are compared to previous studies in contrasting catchments in Germany, Iran, Spain, and beyond. Overall results show that loadings of suspended sediments with pollutants are catchment-specific and relatively stable over time at a given location. For PAHs, loadings on suspended particles mainly correlate to urban pressures (potentially diluted by sediment mass fluxes) in the rivers, whereas metal concentrations mainly display a geogenic origin. By cross-comparison with known urban pressure/sediment yield relationships (e.g. for PAHs) or soil background values (for metals) anthropogenic impact – e.g. caused by industrial activities – may be identified. Sampling of suspended sediments gives much more reliable results compared to sediment grab samples which typically show a more heterogeneous contaminant distribution. Based on mean annual suspended sediment concentrations and distribution coefficients of pollutants the fraction of particle facilitated transport versus dissolved fluxes can be calculated.

AB  - Water scarcity is a serious environmental problem in many European
   regions, and will likely increase in the near future as a consequence of
   increased abstraction and climate change. Water scarcity exacerbates the
   effects of multiple stressors, and thus results in decreased water
   quality. It impacts river ecosystems, threatens the services they
   provide, and it will force managers and policy-makers to change their
   current practices. The EU-FP7 project GLOBAQUA aims at identifying the
   prevalence, interaction and linkages between stressors, and to assess
   their effects on the chemical and ecological status of freshwater
   ecosystems in order to improve water management practice and policies.
   GLOBAQUA assembles a multidisciplinary team of 21 European plus 2
   non-European scientific institutions, as well as water authorities and
   river basin managers. The project includes experts in hydrology,
   chemistry, biology, geomorphology, modelling, socio-economics,
   governance science, knowledge brokerage, and policy advocacy. GLOBAQUA
   studies six river basins (Ebro, Adige, Sava, Evrotas, Anglian and Souss
   Massa) affected by water scarcity, and aims to answer the following
   questions: how does water scarcity interact with other existing
   stressors in the study river basins? How will these interactions change
   according to the different scenarios of future global change? Which will
   be the foreseeable consequences for river ecosystems? How will these in
   turn affect the services the ecosystems provide? How should management
   and policies be adapted to minimise the ecological, economic and
   societal consequences? These questions will be approached by combining
   data-mining, field- and laboratory-based research, and modelling. Here,
   we outline the general structure of the project and the activities to be
   conducted within the fourteen work-packages of GLOBAQUA. (C) 2014 The
