Treated waste disposal in a sensitive receiver area; the case of the vistonis lagoon in east Macedonia Thrace, Greece [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Waste disposal is the biggest humanity problem nowadays. This has been recognized worldwide and we are lucky because waste treatment is applied, at least at developed countries. On the other hand Nature is suffering a lot and biodiversity is reducing rapidly. The preservation and conservation of Nature has leaded European Union to establish the NATURA 2000 network in continuity of Ramsar Convention. In this paper the conditions and the status of the biotopes of the National Park of East Macedonia and Thrace, and particularly of Vistonis lagoon, were studied and analyzed, because the significant and very important flora and fauna of this ecosystem render it worthy of protection, while at the same time, its characterization as Nature (Natura 2000, Ramsar, SPA (Special Protected Area) and SCI) make it of immense importance to the Region. The study involved examination of the effects of direct and indirect disposal of treated sewage in the main body of the water of the lagoon, analysis of the biotic and abiotic elements of the ecosystem and evaluation of the state of the anthropogenic environment. The implementation of this thesis was carried out by the means of literature review with emphasis on wetlands and lagoons, like the area under investigation in this thesis, analysis of the biotic and abiotic elements of the lagoon ecosystem, survey of similar theses, articles and studies, proposals of measures for effective protection and integrated area management and probing analysis on the economic and environmental value of the environment. © 2009 All Rights Reserved by the International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference SGEM Printed in Sofia, Bulgaria.
