Hope everyone hear's the news that the III world war might be on the basis of hunting of freshwater resources. Right now we are moving fast in decline phase. How to restore the natural system of aquatic ecosystem? as a scientific community we can serve our next generation with somewhat good quality of natural resources. Could anyone help in this regard?

Thank you so much for your valuable additions on my question; i will back to the dias after go through these.
Hi Mophin,
I agree with you in the need to focusing on restore aquatic ecosystems, and recover the many ecosystem services we have from them as well as the aquatic biodiversity (actually threatened) who used to live there.
There are some experiences indicating that water quality parameters are recovering faster than ecological communities. I think we need an integrative approach, with biophysical and social values together. Water and then aquatic ecosystems are meaningful for society.

Best,
Dear Mophin,
I am also agree with you in the need to restore aquatic ecosystems, but I really think that a good restoration plan have to be conducted at "global scale" i.e. considering the whole river basin. In fact, we showed that fishpond effects on headwater streams functioning can be contrasted and deeply depends on land uses in the river basins. In river basins with conventional agriculture, extensive fish production in fishponds could favor water quality and also biological functioning downstream the ponds in comparison with the upstream tributaries while in forested basin it was the contrary. So, with this results, we really think that before conduct restoration plans, the different potential adverse, direct and indirect, perturbations must be considered to success the restoration plan.
To better considerations please see:
