Managing River Environments (Paperback)

Managing River Environments is part of the Update series, published in association with the Department of Geography at Queen Mary and Westfield College. It is aimed at Advanced level students and first year undergraduates. River environments are one of the most exploited of all natural environments. Traditional river engineering has had serious consequences for river ecology and land drainage, causing damage to fauna and flora and sometimes exacerbating floods. But how can rivers be managed effectively, with minimum damage to the river environment? Using recent research and data, Geraldene Wharton provides an insight into the issues and challenges of managing river environments and shows how policies and practices in river management have developed and may develop in the future. Managing River Environments is illustrated and contains a series of activities at the end of each section.
