River Channel Management is the first book to deal comprehensively
with recent revolutions in river channel management. It explores
the multi-disciplinary nature of river channel management in
relation to modern management techniques that bear the background
of the entire drainage basin in mind, use channel restoration where
appropriate, and are designed to be sustainable. River Channel
Management is divided into five sections: A*The Introduction
outlines the need for river channel management . A*Retrospective
Review offers an overview of twentieth century engineering methods
and the ways that river channel systems operate. A*Realisation
explains how greater understanding of river channel adjustments,
channel hazards and river basin planning created a context for
twenty-first century management. A*Requirements for Management
explains and examines environmental assessment, restoration-based
approaches, and methods that work towards 'design with nature'
A*Final Revision speculates about prospects for twenty-first
century river channel management. River Channel Management is
written for higher-level undergraduates and for postgraduates in
geography, ecology, engineering, planning, geology and
environmental science, for professionals involved in river channel
management, and for staff in environmental agencies.
