Spatial Modeling of Environmental Pollution and Ecological Risk
provides valuable information and insights for researchers,
students and professionals in geography, hydrology, sedimentology,
soil science, agriculture, engineering and GIS as they face
increasingly complex challenges around development strategies for a
sustainable society. Written by the world’s leading researchers
in their field, each article will begin with a short introductory
essay that includes an overview of the sections' papers. Individual
chapters focus on the core themes of research and knowledge and
some topics that have received lesser attention. Each chapter will
review the current understanding of knowledge regarding the present
study and scope and consider where future efforts should be
directed.
This volume provides a versatile introduction to the study of
drainage basin evolution, morphology, drainage basin hydrology and
sedimentology, human interference, natural and anthropogenic
hazards and various management techniques. This book offers the
responsible factors of sediment yield and their absolute and
specific growth and rate of delivery through tributaries to the
main streams. Rivers are important geomorphic agents which reflect
an amazing variety of form and behaviour, showing the wide range of
natural environment in which they are originated. The drainage
system evolution and spatial network development within the dynamic
nature are being discussed and how they are adjusted in the
geomorphic time scale over the millions of years. This book shows
how drainage systems function and react to change and why this
thoughtful is required for flourishing integrated basin management.
In tropical and sub-tropical countries population pressures as well
as different developmental projects are being executed on the
drainage basin without proper planning. Today scientists consider
drainage basin as an administrative unit during implementation of
regional projects. In this context this book will carry a bench
mark for scholars and young scientists.
