Esteemed Invited Guests, Honourable Ministers, Authorities, Fellow Colleagues, Ladies and

Gentlemen, after more than 20 years ago, when the 5

th

World Lake Conference was held in

Stresa (1993), we are here again on the soil of Italy but this time in Umbria, the green heart

of our dear country. Of course, green is a symbol of a healthy environment and this is tied to

also historical development of the sciences of lakes and freshwater at its very embryonic

stages. First and foremost, allow me on behalf of the Local Organising Committee, to express

our most profound and sincerest gratitude and thanks to ILEC for the confidence reposed in

us to host and organize the 15

th

World Lake Conference of this august body in Perugia.

We are proud to say WELCOME to you all, representatives of about 61 countries from all

the five continents of the world to Perugia, Umbria Region and for that matter to Italy.

Now, I would like to share with you all some startling contributions of Umbria region to the

development of Lake Science.

This region can boast of many monumental and epochal scientific and technological

inventions which decisively contributed to the development of Lake sciences dating as far

back as the Etruscan Age, some 1000 years B.C. through to the Roman times top the epoch

of Universal Knowledge. The presence of various geophysical processes like the Tiber river,

Trasimeno Lake all contributed to ingenious observations dating as far back as the times of

Gallileo Galilei. I believe most of you are aware that the first attempt at the quantification of

rainfall in a given time interval was carried out by Castelli, observing the rain water over the

Trasimeno Lake. This led him to invent the rain gauge in the year 1639. It is important to

emphasise that the rain measuring device which is still extremely useful in Meteorology was

actually designed in the Saint Peter’s Monastery here in Perugia. In a letter to his mentor

and friend Galileo, dated June 18th 1639, Castelli described his invention.

Still on Lake Trasimeno, I would also like to share with you another historical feat. The

illustrious son of Italy, the Genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci mostly known as a

painter, sculptor, engineer, architect, and scientist was also a brilliant cartographer. Having

studied the Euclid Geometry from 1496 to 1504, knew that transferring a spherical surface

onto a plane, at that time, could not be done without errors and he therefore used graphite

shading to make visible different orographic levels. Combining arts and science and admiring

the immense beauty of the panoramic valleys of Valdichiana and Valdarno Leonardo da

Vinci, produced the much celebrated maps of the two valleys including Lake Trasimeno

which are presently conserved in the famous Royal Library of Windsor.

My speech would not be complete if I do not touch on an engineering wonder of the region,

the “Cascata delle Marmore” (Marble Waterfall) in Terni, dating as far back as the year 271

B. C., and constructed by a Roman Consul Manlio Curio Dentato during the Roman era. The

present panorama offered by the waterfall is an epitome of modifications induced by

humans on the natural environment in the course of many centuries. This engineering feat

consisted in the construction of a drainage canal of reclamation of Piediluco Lake at the

confluence of two rivers, the Velino and Nera. Subsequent designs were also advanced to

increase the carrying capacity of the structures during floods at different historical

moments. It was 1787-1788 that a Terni architect by name Andrea Vici found a lasting

solution which gave the cascade its present appearance. Apart from harnessing the fall for

hydroenergy production it also serves as a very important tourist attraction. The Marble

Waterfalls is not only a historical engineering construction but has become an

interdisciplinary laboratory for a three-dimensional mathematical modelling of the water fall

in symbiosis with its natural environment. I would like to make a special mention of the

University for Foreigners of Perugia involved in freshwater research through the Water

Resources Research and Documentation Centre (WARREDOC) which for more than twenty

years has carried out research, training and documentation programmes in water and

environment, mainly for developing countries under the Italian Development Cooperation of

the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and the UNESCO Chair in Water Resource Management and

Culture established in 2013. I would be doing a disservice to myself if I do not mention the

institution here in Perugia which I head, the National Research Institute for Geohydrological

Protection of the National Research Council and which has become the local organizational

seat of USMA2007. Finally I would also wish to mention and thank one of the oldest

universities in Italy, the University of Perugia which has offered us its logistical facilities for

the scientific programmes of the Assembly and call on all of you to join me in wishing the

Rector and the staff, higher and higher laurels during the celebrations of its seven hundred

years of existence next year.

I would like to seize this opportunity to express my most profound and sincerest gratitude

and thanks to all the members of the many Committees (honorary, local organizing and

others) the Authorities at the national, regional and local levels for their unflinching support

and cooperation at all the passes of this unique initiative. Specially thanks I would express to

the President of Republic of Italy for the High Patronage to the 15

th

World Lake Conference.

Permit me again to thank you all for finding time to be here with us at 15

th

World Lake

Conference not only in the service of science but most importantly for your concerns about

our Planet and hope and wish that you would enjoy the very high quality of scientific

presentations, both oral and posters, that are awaiting you in about 40 sessions of this

World Lake Conference.

Foreword by

Masahisa Nakamura

With deep appreciation to the host organization USMA, the University of Perugia, the

University for Foreigners of Perugia, the historic City of Perugia, the surrounding

communities in the Perugia Province and in the Umbria Region as well as the Italian

Government, ILEC is very pleased to have successfully convened this 15

th

World Lake

Conference. One overriding reason why the 15

th

World Lake Conference is so important is

that this Conference commemorates the thirtieth year in its history. Looking back, the

inaugural Conference dates back to the Shiga Conference on Conservation and Management

of World Lake Environment of 1984 which was held on the shore of Lake Biwa, Japan. The

principal aim at that time was to contribute to promoting scientific approaches in the world

lake basin management, with particular emphasis given to tackle the challenges of

“facilitating interactions among scientists, government officials and citizens on a global

scale”.

This spirit has been inherited to the succeeding Conferences held in various parts of the

world, and this ILEC model has reached a very advanced state this time. While the

submissions cover a wide and excellent arrays of highly specialized natural and applied

science pursuits on such traditional subject areas as assessment, management and

restoration of lake water quality degradation and ecosystem disturbances, the Conference

has also been able to attract many contributions that span the science-policy interface with

particular emphasis on the socio-cultural and political dimensions of lake basin governance.

The sound and solid foundation of scientific pursuits have brought about a variety of

governmental policies and nongovernmental engagements that have evolved over the past

decades in the form of lake basin governance (software), with innovative structural and

nonstructural interventions involving technologies and instrumentations (hardware).

However, this time, so many contributions have come from such humanistic disciplines as

national and international laws, historical achievements and contemporary implications of

lake and water related archeology and architectural science.

We also have a budding notion of “heartware”, a term to contrast the above past

achievements in software and hardware, that pertains to the shared values among people

with common appreciation of historical, cultural, anthropological and even religious

implications of lake basin governance. While we still have a long way to go on these new

dimensions about to sprout, it is certainly most fitting for the commemoration of this

Conference that will inaugurate the new decades of global challenges.

Title of Plenary Lecture:

Water: THE Key to Sustainable Development - The Challenge of the Century?

Abstract of Plenary Lecture:

The presentation will overview the current global perspective on water

resources with an attempt to identify major likely future challenges along with

an outline of potential opportunities for solutions. There is a growing

consensus in international environmental politics that water is going to be one

of the main issues of the 21st Century. Given the projected demands for water

supply, food security, and the likely impacts of climate variability and change,

the present water use practices are clearly not sustainable. The presentation

will attempt to identify the water security challenges that need to be

addressed to establish sustainable water development and management

practices for the future, with particular attention to the context of lakes and

reservoirs. It will also look into the hydrological impacts of various global

change drivers, such as climatic variability and change as well as changes in

population patterns and related changes, such as land use change, migration

from rural to urban areas. All these changes imply strong non-stationarity. It

will be argued that the design methodologies, developed under the hypothesis

of stationary hydrological processes, need to be revisited and updated.

Mitigation and adaptation measures will shortly be outlined. Of the

non-structural measures governance reforms will also be discussed. Recent

advances within the United Nations in the area of identifying the Sustainable

Development Goals will be reviewed

macrophytes and related biogeochemical processes; river-lagoon interactions,

scientific support to management of wetlands, quarry lakes and lagoons. He

published more than 100 international peer-reviewed papers with IF, and ten

conference proceedings and special issues in international journals. He is involved in

international programmes, scientific societies and commissions on water quality and

coastal lagoon science. He is associate editor of Hydrobiologia and member of the

board of Journal of Limnology and Advances in Oceanography and Limnology.

Title of Keynote Lecture:

Quarry lakes and reservoirs in the floodplains: monitoring, research and design of

aquatic environments for water quality management and riverscape restoration

Abstract of Keynote Lecture: Clay, sand and gravel extraction in the floodplains has

led to the formation of a number of small and generally shallow lakes and reservoirs,

which are often eutrophic due to the pressures from farmland and urban areas.

These newly formed water bodies provide a unique opportunity for studying the

early colonization phases and the evolution of lake communities, to analyze

biological interactions, and to evaluate the ecosystem metabolism and its effects on

oxygen budgets and biogeochemical processes. the assessment of ecosystem

services this kind of lakes can provide in terms of water and ecological quality is a

challenging task. Study cases from the Po river, whose watershed hosts some

hundreds of lakes accounting for

15 km

2

total water surface, are presented. The

comparison of lakes with different ages (from still in formation to 40 years) allows to

evaluate their trophic state evolution in relation to hydrological connectivity,

external pressures, internal buffering processes, onset and persistence of

hypolimnetic anoxia. Guidelines for designing lakes aimed at achieving good

ecological conditions have been implemented as a scientific support to the quarry

exploitation. Furthermore, the ecosystem services provided by quarry lakes have

been suggested as potential tools for restoring the riverscape in the lowland areas,

where the river margins are for the most part deteriorated and heavily exploited for

agriculture, infrastructures and human settlements. In this context, quarry lakes can

be used as substitutes of formely existing oxbow and riverine lakes and to

reconnect, at least partially, the river channel with its floodplain.

Sciences and Technologies,

University of the Salento, Lecce, Italy

Biosketch: Alberto Basset is Full Professor of Ecology at the University of

Salento. His main research interests are in the field of population and

community ecology, focusing on biodiversity organisation and ecosystem

functioning in aquatic ecosystems. He is currently President of the Italian

Society of Ecology and vice-President of the Ecological European Federation

and has been served, with different responsibilities, in the boards of many

scientific societies. His duties in the international area of biodiversity and

ecosystem research include the responsibilities as member of the Board of

Directors of the European Research Infrastructure ‘LifeWatch’ and co-leader

of Component 2 of the GEO-Ecosystem Task. He has also editorial

responsibilities as member of the editorial board, associate or in chief editor

of Scopus/ISI journals in the field of aquatic ecology and conservation.

Title of Keynote Lecture:

Biodiversity and Ecosystem e-Science: opportunities and challenges

Abstract of Keynote Lecture:

Biodiversity and ecosystems, the management and conservation of their

related services, have gained in the last decades a high priority in the

international political agenda inspiring large-scale initiatives and resulting in

the implementation of the environmental policy issues through monitoring

plans at national and international scales. A positive cascading effect have

been increasingly growing data collections on all components of biodiversity

and ecosystems providing an unprecedented opportunity to test new ideas

and produce new knowledge capitalising existing data resources.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fast development of biodiversity and

eco-informatics is offering the tools and facilities to deploy data. These include

capabilities to mine existing data from different sources, standardise,

15th _{World Lake Conference}

8

integrate, analyse and model data. Biodiversity and eco- informatics is also

offering increasingly accurate facilities to integrate data from very sources,

from metabolomics to remote sensing.

e-Science research infrastructures, as LifeWatch in Europe, are building the

new global research centres where scientists can find, integrate and use in a

near future data on biodiversity and ecosystems coming from equipment as

different as DNA sequencer and new Sentinel mission satellites. Global scale

modelling has already started and will be strongly boosted from these new

e-infrastructures and methodological developments.

However, integrating data, tools into such new capabilities requires major

guiding scientific goals that represent intellectual frontiers and challenges for

biodiversity research. I see two major challenges for ecological sciences in the

next few years to convert the opportunities offered by the innovative

technologies into deeper understanding and new knowledge on biodiversity

and ecosystems: critically revising milestone concepts in ecology, as the

ecosystem concept, producing clear and shared ontologies and cascading data

standardisation; and, addressing the architectural layer of biodiversity and

ecosystems decoding organisation into the underlying mechanisms and related

drivers.

Title of Keynote Lecture:

Two and a half thousand years of navigation on the Dead Sea

Abstract of Keynote Lecture: The only ship on the Dead Sea today is a research vessel

for scientific exploration. In earlier periods many kinds of boats sailed the waves of the

saltiest of all lakes. Anchors found on newly exposed shore of the shrinking lake and

remnants of a 1

st

century B.C.E. shipyard are witnesses of extensive navigation in

antiquity. A naval battle was fought on the lake in 312 B.C.E and there exists a letter

from 134 C.E. mentioning a ship loaded with fruit anchoring near Ein Gedi. A 6

th

century mosaic map depicts two sailing boats on the lake. Legal deeds from crusader

times period prove that a cargo ship was operated by the Knights Hospitaller of

Jerusalem. The 1848 Dead Sea exploration by Lt. William Lynch (US Navy) and earlier

unsuccessful ventures by Costigan (1835) and Molyneux (1847) used small rowing

boats, but the French expedition of the Duc de Luynes in 1864 brought a custom-built

luxury sailing yacht. In the middle of the 19

th

century a navigation route to India via the

Dead Sea was considered as an alternative to the Suez Canal. The first motor ship

appeared in 1908, and later a large fleet connected between the operations of the

Palestine Potash Company at both ends of the lake. Among the unusual crafts seen on

the Dead Sea were a Martinsyde bomber plane equipped with floats instead of wings

used as a weapon during World War I, BOAC hydroplanes that landed on the lake in

the 1940s on their way to Australia, and the yellow submarine that in 1999 explored

the bottom in search for the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

supports very little microbial life. Biological monitoring of lake’s water column since

1980 has shown that blooms of the unicellular green alga Dunaliella and halophilic

Archaea of the family Halobacteriaceae only develop following significant dilution of

the upper water layers after exceptionally rainy winters. Such events occurred in 1980

and even more dramatically in 1992, when up to 3.5x10

7

Archaea per ml in the diluted

upper 5-10 meters of the water column colored the lake red. Archaeal blooms were

preceded by blooms of Dunaliella (up to 8,800 and 15,000 cells/ml, respectively). From

1996 onwards Dunaliella was no longer observed and prokaryote numbers remained

low. In spite of the increasingly extreme conditions, a small but diverse community of

halophilic Archaea still survives in the lake, as shown by culture-independent, 16S

rRNA gene-based molecular techniques. The community structure of the Archaea

present in 2007 was very different from that in 1992, showing that even in this

extreme environment the microbial communities are dynamic, showing changes in

species composition as conditions become increasingly adverse. To examine the

possible effects of the implementation of the planned Red Sea – Dead Sea conduit on

the Dead Sea as an ecosystem, simulation experiments were performed in which Dead

Sea water was diluted with Red Sea water, both in the laboratory and under field

conditions in experimental ponds at Sedom. The extent of biological development

depended on the extent of dilution and on phosphate availability.
