商品描述

This edited book provides a platform for knowledge sharing in all areas related to the rivers, sediment and hydrological extremes. It explains the hypothesis that river flow and sediment transport are intimately linked to erosion, scour and sediment deposition. Sediment transport, erosion and deposition are driven by local base-level changes and are highly variable in space and time. These concepts have serious implication for understanding the recent development of the River, Sediment and Hydrological Extremes.

The natural hazards posed by hydrologic events and river systems depend on the uncertainty of hydrological events. This ability is affected by change in climatic conditions. Climate change studies have revealed that the frequency of extreme weather phenomena with increasing damage to human assets has gradually grown worldwide. As a consequence, rainfall events concentrated in time and space are expected to lead to serious local flooding and sediment transport in manyparts of the world. Floods are remarkable hydro-meteorological phenomena and forceful agents of geomorphic evolution in most physical geographical belts and, from the viewpoint of human society, among the most important environmental hazards. According to the Indian Environment Agency, floods rank as number one on the list of natural disasters in India over the past decade.

This book is an attempt to fill the gap in literature and bring forth evidence based latest research about precise estimation of erosion and scour, which is essential to reduce the hazards. The book explains that lack of preparedness and appropriate adaptation strategy makes people more risk-prone. It highlights the vulnerability in South Asia region about the impacts of flood, sediments, and river hazards because a large portion of its population depends on sensitive sectors like agriculture and forestry for livelihoods and several other reasons.

The book is relevant for academician, researchers andstudents of disaster management, hydrology and ecology.



商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯書籍提供了一個知識分享的平台，涵蓋與河流、沉積物及水文極端事件相關的所有領域。它解釋了河流流量和沉積物運輸與侵蝕、沖刷及沉積之間的密切聯繫。沉積物運輸、侵蝕和沉積受到當地基準面變化的驅動，並在空間和時間上高度變化。這些概念對於理解河流、沉積物和水文極端事件的近期發展具有重要意義。

水文事件和河流系統所帶來的自然災害取決於水文事件的不確定性。這種能力受到氣候條件變化的影響。氣候變化研究顯示，極端氣候現象的頻率逐漸增加，對人類資產造成的損害也在全球範圍內逐漸增長。因此，集中在時間和空間的降雨事件預期將導致世界許多地方嚴重的局部洪水和沉積物運輸。洪水是顯著的水文氣象現象，也是大多數物理地理帶中地貌演變的強大因素，從人類社會的角度來看，洪水是最重要的環境災害之一。根據印度環境署的資料，洪水在過去十年中被列為印度自然災害的首位。

這本書旨在填補文獻中的空白，並提出基於證據的最新研究，關於侵蝕和沖刷的精確估算，這對於減少災害至關重要。書中解釋了缺乏準備和適當的適應策略使人們更容易面臨風險。它強調南亞地區在洪水、沉積物和河流災害影響方面的脆弱性，因為該地區有很大一部分人口依賴農業和林業等敏感行業謀生，還有其他多種原因。

這本書對於災害管理、水文學和生態學的學者、研究人員和學生具有相關性。
