Handbook of Climate Change Impacts on River Basin Management

<p>Climate change not only involves rising temperatures but it can also alter the hydro-meteorological parameters of a region and the corresponding changes emerging in the various biotic or abiotic environmental features.</p><p>One of the results of climate change has been the impact on the sediment yield and its transport. These changes have implications for various other environmental components particularly soils water bodies water quality land productivity sedimentation processes glacier dynamics and risk management strategies to name a few.</p><p>This volume presents a diverse collection of case studies from researchers across the globe examining the impacts of climate change on river basin management in various geographical hydrological and socioeconomic contexts. The case studies yield important insights that can inform strategies to build resilience and adapt river basins to a changing climate.</p>
