Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's
surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in
climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in
landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation,
and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of
the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce
change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of
rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including
climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for
flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about
environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of
management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and
how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the
natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent
resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial
geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.
