The dragon-shaped river, a large artificia... Read More about Issues and challenges of reclaimed water usage: a case study of the dragon-shaped river in the Beijing Olympic Park.

Holding back the tide: An exploration of the possible legal basis for a claim of a right to be protected from flooding (2016)
Journal Article
Bean, E., Staddon, C., & Appleby, T. (2016). Holding back the tide: An exploration of the possible legal basis for a claim of a right to be protected from flooding. Journal of Water Law, 25(2), 61-68

As there is no general right to be defended from flooding, any measures taken to protect communities from flooding would appear to be motivated by political considerations. This article explores the possibilities open to a party seeking to benefit fr...

Geographical and temporal dimensions of Bulgarian attitudes towards the rural environment (2013)
Journal Article
Staddon, C., & Genchev, S. (2013). Geographical and temporal dimensions of Bulgarian attitudes towards the rural environment

This paper explores certain dimensions of the transformation since 1989 in attitudes towards the environment in one largely rural locality of southwest Bulgaria. There is something of a paradox apparent in rural attitudes and behaviours to the enviro... Read More about Geographical and temporal dimensions of Bulgarian attitudes towards the rural environment.
