This book offers a unique collection of inter- and
multidisciplinary studies on river systems. Rivers have been the
prime source of sustenance since the advent of civilization and
river systems often form the basis for agriculture, transport,
water, and land for domestic, commercial, and industrial
activities, fostering economic prosperity. A river basin is a basic
geographical and climatological unit within which the vagaries of
natural processes act and manifest themselves at different
spatio-temporal scales. Even if compared side-by-side, no two river
basins respond to natural processes in the same way and thus, it
has long been recognized that each river basin is unique. Hence,
any developmental activity or conservation effort has to be
designed and implemented to match each unique river basin. With the
burgeoning population and increasing dependency on natural
resources, understanding and maintaining river systems has become
increasingly important. This book provides a varied reference work
on and unprecedented guidelines for conducting and implementing
research on river basins, and for managing their ecological
development.
