Fundamentals of Fluvial Geomorphology
Taylor and Francis 2007; US$ 61.95Rivers are significant geomorphological agents, they show an amazing diversity of form and behaviour and transfer water and sediment from the land surface to the oceans. This book examines how river systems respond to environmental change and why this understanding is needed for successful river management. Highly dynamic in nature, river channels... more...
River Channel Management
Taylor & Francis Ltd 2004; US$ 49.50This is the first book to deal comprehensively with recent revolutions in river channel management. It explores the multidisciplinary nature of such management in relation to modern management techniques that bear the background of the entire drainage basin in mind, use channel restoration where appropriate, and are designed to be sustainable. more...
Geomorphic Analysis of River Systems
Wiley 2012; US$ 150.00Filling a niche in the geomorphology teaching market, this introductory book is built around a 12 week course in fluvial geomorphology. ‘Reading the landscape’ entails making sense of what a riverscape looks like, how it works, how it has evolved over time, and how alterations to one part of a catchment may have secondary consequences... more...
Clumsy Floodplains
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2011; US$ 124.95Extreme floods cause enormous damage in floodplains, which levees cannot prevent. It is hence vital for spatial planning to provide space for water retention in these areas. However, attempts to make the space for rivers to provide retention are generally more...
Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology
Wiley 2005; US$ 355.00In recent years there has been a marked increase in funding and employment in river restoration. Methods in Fluvial Geomorphology provides an integrated approach to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and offers guidance for researchers and professionals on the tools available to answer questions on river management on very difference scales.... more...
River Confluences, Tributaries and the Fluvial Network
Wiley 2008; US$ 119.95River Confluences and the Fluvial Network brings together state of the art thinking on confluence dynamics tributary impacts and the links between processes at these scales and river network functions. The book is unique in focus, content, scope and in bringing together engineering, ecological and geomorphological approaches to the three key areas... more...
Wadi Hydrology
Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 145.95Presents methodologies required for sustainable management of wadis and their water resources. Through physical approaches, field cases, sample interpretations, and various applications to different models, this book provides an understanding of these systems that illustrates the efficiency of harnessing water from wadis. more...
Morphometry of Drainage Basins
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 165.00The book describes the drainage basin as a system unit resulting from the interaction between runoff and topography - a lengthy process of evolution that occurs according to well-defined laws. It aims not to quantify the agents which created the present forms, but to analyse the forms themselves in order to establish the laws according to which they... more...
