The natural shape of many rivers has been dramatically changed, often with dire environmental consequences. This book demonstrates the role fluvial geomorphology can play in the design of river channels, both to lessen environmental impact and to enhance the success of channelization schemes. It considers the physical and biological impacts of channelization, the repercussions downstream and in the adjacent floodplain. Revised procedures and designs are proposed which minimize harsh environmental impacts. The interdisciplinary approach of the book offers river managers the opportunity to make more environmentally sensitive decisions in the course of their work. The book will be of great interest to geomorphologists, biologists and civil engineers working in the water industry.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eConventional River Engineering.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Legislative Framework.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e EFFECTS OF CHANNELIZATION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Physical Effects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Biological Impacts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Downstream Consequences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e RECOMMENDATIONS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Revised Construction Procedures.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mitigation, Enhancement, and Restoration Techniques.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e POSTSCRIPT AND PROSPECTS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Indexes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Science: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Science: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Science:%20general%20issues%20%5BPD%5D%22\"\u003ePD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298069704984,"sku":"9780471919797","price":357.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471919797.jpg?v=1781734419","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/channelized-rivers-perspectives-for-environmental-management-hardback-9780471919797","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
