       aquatic habitats : characteristics and functioning -- 
       Strategies, policies and regulations integrating 
       protection and rehabilitation of aquatic habitats in urban
       water management -- Ecosensitive approaches to managing

       safety related to urban aquatic habitats -- Integrated 
       management of urban aquatic habitats to enhance quality of
       life and environment in cities : selected case studies. 
520 0  Aquatic habitats supply a wide range of vital ecosystem 
       benefits to cities and their inhabitants. The 
       unsustainable use of aquatic habitats, including 
       inadequate urban water management, however, tends to alter
       and reduce their biodiversity and thereby diminish their 
       ability to provide clean water, protect humans from 
       waterborne diseases and pollutants, keep urban areas safe 
       from flooding, and support recreational ecosystem services
       and even aesthetic enjoyment. This publication aims at 
       improving understanding of aquatic habitats, related 
       ecosystem goods and services, and conservation and 
       sustainable use, with a special focus on their integration
       into urban water management.--Publisher's description
