A região hidrográfica da Lagoa dos Patos é uma bacia hidrográfica internacional que ocupa o sul e leste do Rio Grande do Sul e o nordeste do Uruguai. É a maior bacia da região hidrográfica brasileira do Atlântico Sul, definida pelo Conselho Nacional de Recursos Hídricos (CNRH). Entretanto, a bacia da Lagoa dos Patos não faz parte das outras bacias dessa região, que com exceção da bacia da Lagoa dos Patos, é composta sobretudo por rios e arroios pequenos que fluem diretamente para o Atlântico sem conexão entre si.

A bacia possui uma área cerca de 180.000 km² (menos de 2% do território brasileiro, mas cerca de 54% do Rio Grande do Sul e 16% do Uruguai), e é formada por uma série de sub-bacias cujas águas desembocam na Lagoa dos Patos antes de escoarem para o Atlântico na barra do Rio Grande. As principais cidades brasileiras localizados na bacia são Porto Alegre e Caxias do Sul e suas respectivas regiões metropolitanas, bem como Santa Maria, Cachoeira do Sul, Estrela, Pelotas, Rio Grande, Jaguarão e Camaquã. No Uruguai incluem-se os municípios de Melo, Treinta y Tres, Rio Branco e Chuy.

Dentre os seus principais afluentes, destaca-se ao norte da Lagoa dos Patos a sub-bacia do rio Jacuí, em cuja foz no Guaíba na altura de Porto Alegre a vazão é de 1.900 m³/s. O Jacuí possui importantes afluentes, como os rios Taquari, Caí, Gravataí e dos Sinos.

Ao sul da lagoa, a sub-bacia mais importante é a da Lagoa Mirim, cujos principais afluentes são os rios Cebollatí e Tacuarí no Uruguai, e o rio Jaguarão, que  marca a fronteira entre este país o Rio Grande do Sul. Esta sub-bacia é ligada à Lagoa dos Patos pelo canal natural de São Gonçalo.

Por fim, destaca-se também a sub-bacia do Camaquã, que deságua na margem oeste da Lagoa dos Patos.

Clima

O clima da região é temperado e com chuvas bem distribuídas durante o ano todo. Nas partes altas da Serra Gaúcha (entre 400 e 1300 m de altitude) e da Serra do Sudeste (entre 300 e 500 m) o clima é oceânico (Cfb), com verões amenos (médias altas abaixo de 22°C) e invernos com temperaturas mínimas médias abaixo de 10°C e ocorrências eventuais de temperaturas negativas e de neve. As áreas de relevo mais baixo nos vales (como os dos rios Jacuí, Taquari, Caí, Sinos e Jaguarão), bem como nas margens das lagoas dos Patos e Mirim, o clima é subtropical (Cfa) com verões quentes (médias acima de 22°C) e invernos com frequentes ocorrências de geada, mas raríssimas de neve.

Navegabilidade

A bacia possui uma grande malha hidroviária, com 1042 km de vias navegáveis em território brasileiro, e faz parte da Hidrovia do Mercosul. A hidrovia possui uma das melhores estruturas do Brasil, contando com barragens equipadas com eclusas, balizamentos e sinalizações instaladas. Desde 2015 vigora o acesso livre e não discriminatório no transporte fluvial de empresas mercantes nos dois países, permitindo o acesso do nordeste do Uruguai ao Porto do Rio Grande para fomentar o comércio e turismo entre os dois países, bem como exportações para fora do Mercosul.

Além da Lagoa dos Patos, da Lagoa Mirim e do Canal de São Gonçalo, são também navegáveis os rios Jacuí, Taquari, Sinos, Caí, Gravataí, Cebollatí e Jaguarão. No rio Jacuí encontram-se os portos de Cachoeira do Sul e Charqueadas e três eclusas: Amarópolis (em General Câmara), Dom Marco (em Rio Pardo) e Fandango (em Cachoeira do Sul). No rio Taquari, o principal porto é o de Estrela, que permite embarcações de até 2,5 m de calado. Em território uruguaio, foi anunciada em 2021 a construção de dois portos fluviais, um sobre o rio Cebollatí em Treinta y Tres e outro no rio Tacuarí em Cerro Largo. Entretanto, atualmente a principal rota hidroviária de cargas é a entre os portos de Porto Alegre, Pelotas e Rio Grande, trecho com um calado de 5,2 metros. O Porto do Rio Grande, já na saída para o Oceano Atlântico, é o maior porto do Rio Grande do Sul e um dos maiores do Brasil, sendo o sexto em movimentação de contêineres e o terceiro de carga.

O transporte hidroviário de passageiros é feito sobretudo entre as cidades de Guaíba e Porto Alegre, conectando aquela ao centro histórico e a zona sul da capital rio-grandense. O serviço de catamarã atende em média 2,5 mil usuários por dia. Há também um serviço de balsas para veículos e pessoas entre os municípios de Rio Grande e São José do Norte.

Akcija Zenit je bila operativna akcija Ministarstva unutarnjih poslova Republike Hrvatske. Nosi ime po srbijanskoj obavještajnoj mreži. Okončana je listopada 1995. 25. listopada MUP je upriličio tiskovnu konferenciju na kojoj je objavio da je u akciji uhićeno 13 srbijanskih špijuna, koji su prikupljali obavještajne podatke za vojsku Jugoslavije, a obavještajne točke u inozemstvu bili su im Koper, Trst i Innsbruck.

Prema pisanju talijanskih medija 27. siječnja 1996., ta je srpska špijunska skupina djelovala najmanje dvije godine.
Akcijom SZUP-a razotkrivena je mreža obavještajaca tzv. Republike Srpske Krajine na hrvatskome teritoriju.
Ovom su akcijom hrvatske sigurnosne službe na temelju dokumentacije protuobavještajnom djelatnošću ovu srpsku obavještajnu mrežu. Nakon Oluje počele su privoditi aktere te mreže. Uz jednoga člana te mreže zaštitnički je stao visoki američki diplomatski dužnosnik u RH, dok je drugi član mreže uhićen u pokušaju bijega na Plesu, na ulasku u zrakoplov.

Dio novinara u Hrvatskoj kritizirao je akciju. Prema izjavi Smiljana Reljića, koji je bio ravnatelj Službe za zaštitu ustavnog poretka (SZUP-a) u vrijeme velikosrpske agresije, a također i pomoćnik ministra unutarnjih poslova te voditelj Nadzorne službe Ureda za nacionalnu sigurnost (UNS-a), pratili su neke novinare radi sumnji zbog suradnje s agresorom.
Naknadno je otkriveno da se dio novinara sastajao s članovima terorističke skupine Labrador.

Gladbeck () is a town in the district of Recklinghausen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Gladbeck is quite a young town, first recognised 21 July 1919 when it was given town rights. The town established itself around five farming villages, Brauck, Butendorf, Ellinghorst, Rentfort and Zweckel.

Geography
Gladbeck is located in the northern part of the Ruhr Area and belongs to the so-called Emscherzone in which mining started late in relation to other towns of this area. Gladbeck is predominantly surrounded by Bottrop, Gelsenkirchen, Dorsten and by Essen in the south.

History

Pre-industrial society

Early archeological finds prove a population in the region of Gladbeck already in about 2000 BC. It was first mentioned in 1020 as Gladbeki and was originally a small village of 300 inhabitants. The village with its five peasantries (Butendorf, Brauck, Rentfort, Ellinghorst and Zweckel, now quarters of Gladbeck) was arranged around St. Lamberti cathedral.

From 1180 to 1802 Gladbeck belonged to the Vest Recklinghausen and was thus linked with the Electorate of Cologne. A certificate from 1236 mentions Knight Ludolfus de Wittering who is most likely to have erected Wittringen Castle around that time. Especially during the first years of the Thirty Years' War (1618–48) many cornfields in and around Gladbeck were destroyed by marauding soldiers. Additionally, the Black Death killed many inhabitants of Gladbeck in the Thirty Years' War.

At the 1815 Congress of Vienna the Kingdom of Prussia acquired the area and administered it within the Province of Westphalia. Before the Revolutions of 1848 there were three bad food crises in Gladbeck in 1816/17, 1830/31 and 1846/47. However, the "March Revolution" had no consequences on Gladbeck.

Time of coal mining

Coal was found in the 1870s and the first coal was produced in 1878. Depending on additional workers, the coal mines attracted many people. Therefore, Gladbeck rapidly grew by immigration from surrounding Westphalia, the Rhine Province, and from the eastern provinces of Prussia including citizens with Polish as their native language.

The little village quickly turned into an establishment of industry and was given town privilege in July 1919. Also Gladbeck benefited from the general boom in the years 1925 to 1929 when important building projects were realised in spite of all troubles, such as the open-air bath as well as the stadium, in which Adolf Hitler delivered a speech in 1932.

As with all German towns, Gladbeck was brought into line after Adolf Hitler was named Reichskanzler. This took place under the earlier elected conservative mayor Bernhard Hackenberg, immediately joining the Nazi Party. In World War II Gladbeck was heavily damaged and around 43% of the buildings in the center were destroyed, making it as one of the most destroyed towns in the Ruhr Area. After the war the town became part of the new state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

During the 1960s the coal industry went into a substantial crisis, resulting in widespread unemployment. Apart from this Gladbeck's population reached 85,927 inhabitants in 1969, which is unique in the history of this town. Since the last coal mine was closed in 1971 Gladbeck is fighting against a high rate of unemployment, activating the structural change.

Communal realignment and history since 1975
In the course of the communal realignment in North Rhine-Westphalia (1975) Gladbeck, original a county borough, and the village Kirchhellen were incorporated into the neighbouring town Bottrop. Opponents of the realignment criticized the low population density at the border between Gladbeck and Bottrop and emphasized that Bottrop was not much bigger than Gladbeck. ´GlaBotKi is nich´ (Glabotki is not) was their catchphrase.  With the help of a court decision Gladbeck successfully left Bottrop, thereby cancelling the merger.  Since July 1976 Gladbeck is part of the district of Recklinghausen.

On 16 August 1988, the town received international attention when two thieves robbed a branch of the Deutsche Bank in Gladbeck. They kidnapped two bank employees and held them hostage, along with 32 people in a transport bus in Bremen and drove through West Germany and the Netherlands. In what was called the Gladbeck hostage crisis, the crisis ended in just over 2 days, with one police officer and two victims dead, and the arrest of the three individuals (Hans-Jürgen Rösner & Dieter Degowski, along with Marion Löblich for her involvement in the crime as an accomplice).

Politics
The current mayor of Gladbeck is Bettina Weist of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) since 2020. The most recent mayoral election was held on 13 September 2020, with a runoff held on 27 September, and the results were as follows:

List of mayors

Gladbeck possesses a mayor since it gained town privilege in July 1919. Yet, the official term was lord mayor as Gladbeck was a county borough by 1974. Since then it has a mayor and since 1994 the position as Gladbeck's mayor is a full-time function.

The mayor is the chairman of the town council and employer of administration.
Gladbeck has had the following mayors:
1919–1931: Michael Jovy, non party
1931–?: Bernhard Hackenberg, joined the NSDAP in 1933
1948–1952: Johann Harnischfeger, CDU
1946–1958: Friedrich Lange, SPD
1958–1963: Heinrich Kliem, SPD
1963–1965: Hans Wuwer, SPD
1965–1971: Günter Kalinowski, SPD
1971–1974: Norbert Aust, SPD
1976–1994: Wolfgang Röken, SPD
1994–2004: Eckhard Schwerhoff, CDU
2004–2020: Ulrich Roland, SPD
since 2020: Bettina Weist, SPD

In 1994 Eckhard Schwerhoff was elected mayor by the town council after the SPD had governed Gladbeck for 48 years. The SPD failed the absolute majority only barely and because the mayor has one voice too it would have led to a stalemate.

As a result, the Alliance '90/The Greens and a new founded local party (BIG) made the decision to support Eckhard Schwerhoff, a CDU party member but not involved in the politics of Gladbeck until then. In 1999 Eckhard Schwerhoff was re-elected after a reform according to which mayors should be elected directly.

In the ballot on 10 October 2004 he no longer stood for the mayor and thereupon Ulrich Roland (SPD) was elected mayor.

City council
The Gladbeck city council governs the city alongside the Mayor. The most recent city council election was held on 13 September 2020, and the results were as follows:
