This volume provides essential information on the origin and
evolution of Greek rivers, as well as their ecological and
anthropogenic characteristics. The topics covered include
geomythology, biogeography, hydrology, hydrobiology,
hydrogeochemistry, geological and biogeochemical processes,
anthropogenic pressures and ecological impacts, water management -
both in the antiquity and today - and river restoration. The book
is divided into four parts, the first of which explores the
importance of rivers for ancient Greek civilization and the natural
processes affecting their evolution during the Holocene. In the
second part, the hydrological, hydrochemical and biological
features of Greek rivers and the unique biogeographical
characteristics that form the basis for their high biodiversity and
endemism are highlighted, while the third part comprehensively
discusses the impacts of environmental pollution on the structure
and function of Greek river ecosystems. In turn, the final part
describes the current socio-economic factors in Greece that are
affecting established water management practices, the application
of ecohydrological approaches in restoring fragmented rivers, and
the lessons learned from restoring aquatic ecosystems in general as
a paradigm for understanding and minimizing anthropogenic impacts
on water resources, at the Mediterranean scale. Given the breadth
and depth of its coverage, the book offers an invaluable source of
information for researchers, students and environmental managers
alike.
