Traditionally, wetlands were considered separately from river basin systems. However, nowadays it is becoming common practice to follow an integrated approach in wetland-riverine watershed analysis and management. Such approach requires not only adequate representations of all relevant bio-physical parameters, but also of socio-political and econom

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 organized 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 river issues; Estuaries and deltas; Changing Climate; Droughts and desertification; Water and health; and Socio-economic and political issues.

Worldwide development of agriculture and industry creates burgeoning demands on natural resources. Management of the rivers and the surrounding landscape is one of the important tasks for today and for the foreseeable future. Lessons learned from centuries of management (and mismanagement) have been distilled into principles and practices which form the subject matter for this book. It provides both a global perspective and an entrée to the special problems associated with management of transboundary rivers.

The main focus of this book is on water quantity management, specifically floods, scarcity and droughts. The relevant EU requirements for water quantity management in transboundary waters and the way these have been implemented in a specific river basin in the EU, the Scheldt, are scrutinized. Moreover, a case study of the river basin mechanism governing the Delaware River in the United States has been conducted with the aim of identifying lessons learned for the EU. The key theme running through the book is based on the social-ecological resilience theory and the water security paradigm.

Water resources are under extreme pressure today all over the world. The resulting problems have given rise to many activities which reflect the growing concern about them and the importance of effective management.As water increasingly becomes a precious resource on which the well-being of future generations depends, it is essential to discuss issues concerning quality, quantity, planning and other related topics.Containing papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Water Resources Management, this book examines the recent technological and scientific developments associated with the management of surface and sub-surface water resources. The wide variety of subjects covered are as follows: Water Resource Management and Planning; Waste Water Treatment and Management; Water Markets and Policies; Urban Water Management; Water Quality; Storm Water Management; Water Security Systems; Pollution Control; Irrigation Problems; Reservoirs and Lakes; River Basin Management; Hydrological Modelling; Flood Risk; Decision Support Systems; Groundwater Flow Problems and Remediation Technologies; Coastal and Estuarial Problems; Soil and Water Conservation and Risk Analysis.

Coastal watersheds differ from others by their unique features, including proximity to the ocean, weather and rainfall patterns, subsurface features, and land covers. Land use changes and competing needs for valuable water and land resources are especially more distinctive to such watersheds. This book covers recent research relevant to coastal watersheds. It addresses the impact of a stream’s chemical, biological, and sediment pollutants on the quality of the receiving waters, such as estuaries, bays, and near-shore waters. The contents of the book can be divided into three sections; a) overview of hydrological modelling, b) water quality assessment, and c) watershed management. This book differs from other hydrology books by dealing with coastal watersheds which are characterized by their unique features: including weather and rainfall patterns, subsurface characteristics, and land use and cover. In addition to academia, the book should be of interest to organizations concerned with watershed management, such as local and federal governments and environmental groups. Overall, the book is expected to satisfy a great need toward understanding and managing critical areas in many parts of the world.
