| Summary |
This book offers a unique collection of inter- and multidisciplinary studies on river systems. Rivers have been the prime source of sustenance since the advent of civilization and river systems often℗ℓform the basis for agriculture, transport, water, and land for domestic, commercial, and industrial activities, fostering economic prosperity. A river basin is a basic geographical and climatological unit within which the vagaries of natural processes act and manifest themselves at different spatio-temporal scales. Even if℗ℓcompared side-by-side, ℗ℓno two river basins respond to natural processes in the same way and thus, it℗ℓhas long been recognized that each river basin is unique. Hence, any developmental activity or conservation effort has to be designed and implemented to match each unique river basin. With the burgeoning population and increasing dependency on natural resources, understanding and℗ℓmaintaining river systems has℗ℓ become increasingly important. This book provides a varied reference work on and unprecedented guidelines for conducting and implementing research on river basins, and℗ℓfor managing their ecological development |
