Abstract

The physical and chemical quality of Danish streams has been entirely altered by the dramatic changes in anthropogenic pressures occurring over the last 150 years. Large-scale drainage schemes for reclamation of agricultural land, organic wastes from an increasing urban population, soil and bank erosion giving rise to excess sediment transport, leaching of nutrients and organic micropollutants are among the suite of anthropogenic pressures affecting the streams. The last three decades have been spent on introducing several Governmental and Regional Action Plans for combating these pressures and improving stream ecology.
