The Acheloos River&amp;nbsp;(West Greece) was chosen as the case study due to the recent changes taken place&amp;nbsp;in its Delta area; the geotechnical constructions and the agricultural planning have&amp;nbsp;altered the basin’s conditions. The aim of this study is to analyze the present dominant&amp;nbsp;environment and the impact of human activity on this balance with the application&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;of modern technological tools; emphasis is placed on the geomorphological&amp;nbsp;along with the land use changes taking place in the three district parts of the Acheloos’&amp;nbsp;delta within a period of four decades (1960–2000): delta plain, delta front, pro&amp;nbsp;delta. Bibliographic references, geographical and geological maps, aerial and satellite&amp;nbsp;imagery of different seasons and dates, were utilized in addition to extensive&amp;nbsp;fieldwork measurements and mapping. A geographic database was developed and it&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;is continuously updated.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
