This picture of river Mura in Slovenia was taken last summer, after some rainy days (therefore it isnt as beautiful colored as usual). Mura is the only one of major rivers in this country which does not have any hydroplant build on it. I hope it stays like that, because it is a place of many beuatiful habitats and natural reserves, which should be presereved at the best.

The Lake Salto has existed since 1940, when the 110 m dam was constructed to prevent floading of the lower valley and to produce hydroelectric energy. It is one of the widest artificial lakes in central-southern Italy and it characterises the omonymous valley, located between Lazio and Abruzzo regions. The submersion of the valley land cancelled its agricultural use by the river, and changed the socio-economical features of the nearby villages. Some of the villages were also destroyed and reconstructed by the lake banks. As an environmental consequence, the climate has become milder than in the past. Despite the outstanding landscape quality and the potential tourism, such territory suffers from demographic decrease likewise other internal areas of the Apennine mountains.

Sabarmati River in the city of Ahmadabad, India which is a lifeline passing through the city to fulfil the need of the water for farming & drinking water. Earlier it was used as a place to dump the trash; rather riverfronts with beautiful landscapes are been developed to accommodate to fulfil the need of urbanscape as well.
The centrepiece of the Riverfront would have to be its two-level promenade. It provides an uninterrupted walkway for pedestrians that is a whopping 11.4 km long. The lower level of the promenade, which is accessible to the public at present, is close to the water level and is constructed in a way that serves cyclists and pedestrians alike, at the same time providing adequate access to water.

A system of ponds and creeks that culminate in a 24ha lake.

Three things I think are interesting:

It’s almost completely manmade, and is fed by city water. Phosphates in the water supply produce excessive algae blooms, and so last year a new type of bioretention filter was installed to cut down on toxic algae.

The large lake allows for many different and diverse opportunities for use at various points, many of which would never exist without the water. It creates many popular spots for exercise, barbecuing, wildlife viewing.

A big reason it was created was the popularity of ice skating in Central Park at the time. Because of climate change, it’s already no longer possible to go out on the ice during the winter.

Istanbul is in many ways a crossroads. A crossroads between land and sea, Europe and Asia, Byzantine and Islamic architecture, the past and the present.
Bosphorus strait is a natural strait, located in northwestern Turkey, connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. Also known as the Strait of Istanbul, this water way links the European part of the city from its Asian part and thus remains as a very strategic waterway in the region.
This iconic water way has a length of 31 kilometers and a width that varies between 730-3300 meters.
Bosphorus Strait has a significant place in the international maritime map as it is a busy waterway that witnesses the presence of many ships and oil tankers every day, in addition to the local fishing and passenger boats.

The Bosphorus strait’s importance lies in the fact that is a significant shipping route that links the Black Sea with the world’s oceans.

This image from google map shows the pattern of water and human made farmland for harvesting sea salt.
I was traveling through south-East of india and we were on a little off road area. Some how we got stuck on the way and I try to look on the map which was showing this image the Backwaters. A network of brackish lagoon and lakes laying parallel to the Bay Of Bengal cost of southern india, as well as interconnected canals, rivers and inlets.
I found that the backwater have a unique eco system: Freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the sea. A barrage has been built, so salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes and from the sea water they harvest salt. Many unique species of aquatic life including fishes, crabs, frogs and mud skippers, water birds such as terns, kingfishers, darters and cormorants, and animals such as otters and turtles live in and alongside the backwaters. Also great mangroves, palm trees, shrubs, various leafy plants, and bushes grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green hue to the surrounding landscape.

Along the river you can see different landscapes varying from cultivated lands in Nile delta to rocky and sandy banks at Luxor to the most civilized and inhabited city in Egypt Cairo.

I have lots of memories of my childhood walking along this seafront. Whenever there was a special occasion, me and my family used to drive to Pozzuoli to take a walk and I remember that the view of the seaside gave me a sense of peace and joy.
Even if I don’t go there as much as I did before, during the years I’ve realized how full of history and beauty is this place.

Its history starts when it was founded about 529 BC by Greek emigrants who called it “City of Justice” but the current name comes from the Latin "Puteoli"  because around 194 BC it became a Roman colony; its port made it a leading commercial center and a cosmopolitan city, but it declined with the fall of the Roman Empire, and local volcanic and seismic activity caused most of its inhabitants to move to the near city Naples.

Indeed, legend says that one day Apollo fell in love with Sibyl, a beautiful girl who hed divinatory abilities. To conquer her, the god promised to the young woman that he would fulfill all her wishes and then Sibyl took a handful of sand from the beach and asked Apollo to let her live as many years as the grains she had collected in her hand. But the girl forgot to specify that she wanted to live her whole life in eternal youth. Then Apollo, to preserve her form the passing of the years placed her in a cage inside the cave. Her voice was the only physical testimony of her presence that predict future events for a long time. The cave was discovered in 1932 and consists of a long stone tunnel in which there is an internal room, where Sibyl carried out her activity of oracle.

The Danube is a huge river that flows through many countries. It originats from Germany and flows into the Black Sea.

Danube river is significant in our landscape as it divides Budapest into two parts (Buda, Pest). It is also a great recreational element for sports. People use the some narrow river basins for rowing. On the other hand due to its great location and Budapest's historical architecture, lot of cruise ships pass through.

However, in the city the there are not so many recreational areas where you can feel the water and be close to it as there are two busy roads passing at the embankment. There has been lots of initiatives to bring the water back to people. During the summer they close the area from cars and let people take over the place as a recreational area.

The Image which exists in visitors‘ memory will be changed by reducing the level of pink water and showing up new islands. Lake Urmia, the largest lake in Iran with salt water, has been shrinking at an alarming rate during the last decade.

Lake Urmia is very valuable in terms of environment and nature. It has rich ecological biodiversity and is marked by more than a hundred small and rocky islands, which serve as stopover points during the migrations of several bird species. This in turn has a significant effect on reducing its viability as home to thousands of creatures.

When I was a child, I traveled between near cities of the lake by ship and I supposed the lake horizon belonged to a pink ocean. Watching the flamingos’ migration in this view is an unforgettable experience for me, which has become rare these days.

The boulevards were created thanks to people like us: landscape architects, to whom I am extremely grateful for implementing such projects. I wanted to share this place because it is of great importance to me and the rest of the residents. It is the most popular meeting place, a place for active and passive recreation, there is an educational path, moreover, the river banks and vegetation are the habitat of many species of animals and in particular they create a coherent and neat landscape and are a buffer zone between the noisy city and the naturally occurring river. The other side of the river is a riparian biotope, there are naturalistic walking and cycling paths and beaches. The proximity of water and nature in the city is very valuable and desirable.

In Hungary, Somogy county, the landscape is hilly, full with ups and downs. The valleys collect the rainwater and so became these beautiful wetlands. The water level is not permanent: usually in early spring these areas are filled up with water; then at the end of summer it is nearly dried out. These alder swamps give place for many species, especially amphibians, and are really important to hold back water. They also define this landscape. Unfortunately, I noticed in the past few years that these areas started to dry out- they do not get the water sources they need.

The last years this river among others has been given more space, as part of Ruimte voor de Rivier (Space for the River). To make sure that flooding's happen less often, due to the rising see-level, increase in rain and the quicker melting of the glacier sources.

Due to spills from the sewers and industries along the river and its tributaries, there is no longer any form of life in the Sarno and the water cannot be used because it is dangerous to health. Over the years the river has then earned the nickname "Rio Pomodoro", because its waters sometimes turn red due to spills from the peeled tomatoes industry.

Waterfronts are perceived very differently and have a diverse context. During ancient times, waterfronts were never celebrated as a recreational public place. Water and religion are intricately woven in the pattern of lifestyle. Along with that due to the subtropical climate, the preference to the waterfronts is more on the socio-cultural aspects such as the bathing rituals. All the cities have their own identity achieved due to the dominance of water as a core element. It is believed that rivers are sacred, the kunds and step-wells have shrines and idols of God, lakes were used to offer prayers and worship water as God. Therefore, layers of activities along with built form typologies and their architectural responses exist altogether with the current era.

The Volta River is the main river system in the West African country of Ghana. It flows south into Ghana from Bobo-Dioulasso highlands of Burkina Faso. The main parts of the river are the Black Volta, the White Volta, and the Red Volta. In the northwest, the Black Volta forms the international borders between the Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Burkina Faso. The Volta flows southward along Akwapim-Togoland highlands, and it empties into the Atlantic Ocean at the Gulf of Guinea at Ada Foah. The Volta River has been dammed at Akosombo for the purpose of generating hydroelectricity. The reservoir named Lake Volta stretches from Akosombo Dam in the south to the northern part of the country and is one of the largest man-made reservoirs by area in the world. The creation of Lake Volta and the hydroelectric power scheme have brought economic and social benefits: the dam generates electricity which in turn supports aluminum manufacture and generates income, whilst the lake allows easier inland transport and is a potentially valuable resource for irrigation, fishing and aquaculture.
