This edited book provides a platform for knowledge sharing in all
areas related to the rivers, sediment and hydrological extremes. It
explains the hypothesis that river flow and sediment transport are
intimately linked to erosion, scour and sediment deposition.
Sediment transport, erosion and deposition are driven by local
base-level changes and are highly variable in space and time. These
concepts have serious implication for understanding the recent
development of the River, Sediment and Hydrological Extremes. The
natural hazards posed by hydrologic events and river systems depend
on the uncertainty of hydrological events. This ability is affected
by change in climatic conditions. Climate change studies have
revealed that the frequency of extreme weather phenomena with
increasing damage to human assets has gradually grown worldwide. As
a consequence, rainfall events concentrated in time and space are
expected to lead to serious local flooding and sediment transport
in many parts of the world. Floods are remarkable
hydro-meteorological phenomena and forceful agents of geomorphic
evolution in most physical geographical belts and, from the
viewpoint of human society, among the most important environmental
hazards. According to the Indian Environment Agency, floods rank as
number one on the list of natural disasters in India over the past
decade. This book is an attempt to fill the gap in literature and
bring forth evidence based latest research about precise estimation
of erosion and scour, which is essential to reduce the hazards. The
book explains that lack of preparedness and appropriate adaptation
strategy makes people more risk-prone. It highlights the
vulnerability in South Asia region about the impacts of flood,
sediments, and river hazards because a large portion of its
population depends on sensitive sectors like agriculture and
forestry for livelihoods and several other reasons. The book is
relevant for academician, researchers and students of disaster
management, hydrology and ecology.
