They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy. aHydrology aRivers aFluvial geomorphology 2ddccBK 00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2021-04-12eOverseas Press India Private Limitedg4268.66i2021-03-08l1m2o551.483 RHO-Rp51478q2021-08-24r2021-07-08 00:00:00s2021-07-08v6012.20w2021-04-12yBK
