Recommendations to protect rivers from power development in Norway are organized and put forward to the authorities by a public ‘Co-ordinating Commission: Power Development – Nature Conservation’, in daily parlance called the Sperstad Commission. Field work and research are performed by a university-appointed research committee. In its evaluations the committee will distinguish between individual rivers and river basins in their totality. In the first case three queries will be asked: whether the river is apt for serving as (1) a historical documentation (i. e. contains sedimentation or landforms which will help in interpreting the evolution of the landscape of the areal); (2) a dynamic documentation (i.e. demonstrating land-forming processes in progress); or(3) a classical documentation (i.e. a locality for which written scientific or historical information for years back in time may be produced). The protection of river basins is considered to be of greater importance. They will be classified as to what degree they are (1) typical for the morphology of their region; (2) suitable for references (comparing the evolution of harnessed with untouched basins; (3) possess unique qualities. The importance of applying geomorphological methods in the evaluation of cases is emphasised. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
