Riverine Environment and Its Dynamics: Challenges Issues and Sustainable Managements

About the Book: ‘Riverine environment and its dynamics: Challenges issues and sustainable managements’ is the title of the book and is depicting the challenges of contemporary riverine environment. River is a natural resource that is inevitable to prosper all the civilizations. Such studies are nothing but the engine for analysing economic development including the sustainable environment. Degradation of river-floodplain systems is of serious concern. River and riverine landscape degradation is rapidly exaggerating over time and is becoming a political issue associated with socio-economic implications. This book offers an insight into the basin management i.e. basin morphometric characteristics water resource species diversity land use and land cover changes and also landscape evolution. Many of the scholars are especially recognized and specialized in the studies of riverine environments and the book is not an exception. As riverine landscapes are depending largely on hydrological conditions and hydraulics of the channel the studies on morphometry surface and subsurface ground water storage with seasonal hydrological dynamics are of prime focus to maintain the ecological integrity. The book will be helpful for the researchers planners and different stakeholders.
