Papers presented at the 10th in a series of conferences on River
Basin Management are contained in this book. The included works
mark a growing global interest in the planning, design and
management of river basin systems and take in to account all
aspects of Hydrology, Ecology, Environmental Management, Flood
Plains and Wetlands. Catastrophic events such as floods and
associated landslides, erosion and sedimentation can have serious
effects not only on life and property but also on the basin
ecology. Frequently these problems are aggravated by the unforeseen
consequences of man made changes in the river basin. This has led
in recent years to work on river restoration and rehabilitation
with various degrees of success. Changes in the landscape, use of
the land and climate conditions leads to a continuous revaluation
of river basin management objectives requiring the development of
better measuring tools in conjunction with accurate computer
technology. Specific themes covered in this volume include: Water
resources management; Flood risk management; Ecological and
environmental impact; Erosion and sediment transport; Hydrological
modelling; River restoration and rehabilitation; Hydropower issues
and development; River and watershed management; Water quality
issues; Organic contamination management; Agricultural pollution;
Transboundary water issues; Estuaries and deltas; Climate change;
Remote sensing; Hydraulic structures; Rain water management; Water
energy nexus; Drought assessment and management; Ecosystem
services.
