Editors:
Book authored by a complementary mix of highly accomplished academics and experienced field professionals
Is expected to remove the vacuum of an ideal reference book which broadly covers most of the present-day prime aspects of river management in a nutshell
Novel case studies pertaining to field problems on river management are specifically designed to meet the demand of field professionals to extract valuable experience derived from real life applications of newer techniques for highly intricate river management situations
Skillful juxtaposition of the complex theoretical modelling issues of fluvial hydraulics & climate with critical practical aspects of river training, water quality and trans-boundary issues

About this book
The main thrust of this book is focused on addressing the various interrelated processes, analysis and activities bearing upon sound river management. River basins are complex systems. They are open systems with sometimes ill-defined boundaries. It refers to various aspects essential to achieve a sustainable development of river basins, including water demand and river management. Intensified erosion, land water degradation and stream flow pollution which call for appropriate river restoration and training measures. A viable theory for river management must reconcile the various processes that occur at different scales in order to develop a knowledge base by synthesizing research and field studies results. The book is intended to augment the knowledge base of behaviour of rivers and analyse the issues related to rivers so as to develop river system management techniques emerging from in-depth scientific analysis as a priority. This book pools together the expertise, the in-depth knowledge and the experience of the people representing different disciplines bearing on the related aspects of analysis and management of river systems.
Audience
The book is expected to be useful to academics, practitioners, scientists, water managers, environmentalists, administrators, researchers and students who are involved and have stakes in water management and river system analysis.
