River Basin Management VI (Wit Transactions on Ecology and the Environment)

In recent years, significant advances have been made in the development and application of software tools for predicting the flow, water quality, sediment transport and ecological processes in river systems. Since 2001, the Wessex Institute of Technology has organised a biennial conference to facilitate the sharing of these advances. This book contains the papers presented at the latest conference in the series. The papers presented at the conference cover: Water Resources Management; Flood Studies; Ecological and Environmental Impact; Erosion and Sediment Transport; Hydrological Modelling; Eco-hydraulics; River Restoration and Rehabilitation; Hydropower Production; River and Watershed Management; Water Quality Issues; Trans-boundary and River Issues; Estuaries and Deltas; Changing Climate; Droughts and Desertification; Water and Health; and Socio-economic and Political Issues.
