Hannes Flühler Das Symposium "Die Alpen- Naturpark oder Opfer des künftigen Europas" und die hier ver­ öffentlichten Referate sollen die Diskussion über die künftigen Auswirkungen der europäischen Verträge und Absprachen auf unsere Umwelt in eine breitere Öffentlichkeit hinaustragen. Wich­ tige Umweltfragen aus der Sicht der Wissenschaft aufzugreifen und sichtbar zu machen, ist eine der Aufgaben des ETHZ Forums für Umweltfragen. Dass wir die Alpen stellvertretend für die Umweltfrage als Tagungsthema wählten, begründen wir mit der besonderen Verletzlichkeit dieser Natur- und Kulturlandschaft und mit ihrer zentralen geographischen Lage im europäi­ schen Wirtschaftsraum. Der Titel des Symposiums ist provokativ gewählt und hat zu prononcierten Stellungnahmen ge­ führt. Mit der Wahl dieses Themas wollen und dürfen wir uns nicht in regionale Kompetenzen einmischen. Wir stellen das Beispiel der Alpen ins Zentrum, weil es ein multinationaler Pro­ blemkomplex ist und sich deshalb für europäische Projektionen eignet. Die Titelfrage ist eine etwas überzeichnete Alternative, welche sich in der Wirklichkeit etwas differenzierter stellt.

This book contains the proceedings of the first workshop held at Monte Verità near Ascona, Switzerland on September 24-29, 1989. The workshop was designed to survey the current understanding of water and solute transport through unsaturated soils under field conditions, and to foster research by discussing some unresolved key issues relative to transport modeling and experimentation in four "Think Tank" groups. The first part of this book consists of the reports prepared by the Think Tank groups, who discussed the following topics: modeling approaches, effective large scale properties, evaluation of filed properties, and the role preferential flow. The second part contains a selection of reviewed original contributions presented at the workshop, with topics ranging from the presentation of results from large scale experiments, to improved or new modeling approaches, and to legal or policy aspects. This book is intended for researchers in soil science, hydrology, and environmental engineering who have an interest in transport and reaction processes in the unsaturated zone. It will provide them with a representative sample of current research activities, and with a group discussion of future research directions in four important areas of water and solute transport.
