They tend to focus on the development and application of geomorphic principles for river restoration design. Due to different models obtaining different results on the same problem, incomplete or absent data, and climatic\/social\/cultural changes, the designers and managers of such projects frequently face high levels of uncertainty.\u003cbr\u003e This book will provide a systematic overview of the issues involved in minimizing and coping with uncertainty in river restoration projects. A series of thematic sections will be used to define the various sources of uncertainty in restoration projects and how these show at different points in the life cycle (design, construction and post-construction phases) of restoration projects. The structure of the book will offer a rational theoretical analysis of the problem while providing practical guidance in managing the different sources of uncertainty. A wide range of case studies will be included from Europe, North America and Australasia\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Contributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I Introduction: The Nature and Significance of Uncertainty in River Restoration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Uncertainty in River Restoration 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJ.
