Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Dec 13, 2003:
I found this in Anke's reference: To apply the integrated approach to best effect, the level of catchment, river basin or sub-basin
should be considered, where appropriate. ***A key message is, therefore, to promote the development of river basin management plans.*** Water projects should be consistent with these plans, or include assistance for their establishment if they do not exist.

What about "Adapting resource management plans to include river basins"
Non-ProZ.com Dec 13, 2003:
I think it must "umstellen auf + accusative" (convert to). If location were meant it would be in the dative: auf GebieteN

David: What's a "river catchment"?

reply to your \"resource management plans\" suggestion:

Bewirtschaftung has a number of meanings, including management, administration, cultivation, farming, utilisation. Is there no indication elsewhere in your text as to which one it might be?
Peer comment(s):
agree Anke Russ : this link might help http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/com/cnc/2002/com2002_0132en0... and 'auf' is really strange

neutral David Moore (X) : I think they just left out the "n" - can't the Austrians have some latitude too? IMO, this already includes river catchments....

changes in the control practices of flood planes

my best shot!
Peer comment(s):
neutral David Moore (X) : Are these planes the ones that collect flood water "in flight", so to speak????? Like for the b(r)ush firefighters?

change of land use in river catchment areas

"Bewitschaftung" can mean either "cultivation" or "management". The latter would not be correct in the context. Cultivation is perhaps too restrictive a term, hence the suggestion of "land use".
