Ecohydraulics: An Integrated Approachprovides a research
level text which highlights recent developments of this emerging
and expanding field. With a focus on interdisciplinary
research the text examines:-
* the evolution and scope of ecohydraulics
* interactions between hydraulics, hydrology, fluvial
geomorphology and aquatic ecology
* the application of habitat modelling in ecohydraulic
studies
* state of the art methodological developments and
approaches
* detailed case studies including fish passage design and the
management of environmental flow regimes
* research needs and the future of ecohydraulics research
The contributions offer broad geographic coverage to encapsulate
the wide range of approaches, case studies and methods used to
conduct ecohydraulics research. The book considers a range of
spatial and temporal scales of relevance and aquatic organisms
ranging from algae and macrophytes to macroinvertebrates and
fish. River management and restoration are also considered in
detail, making this volume of direct relevance to those concerned
with cutting edge research and its application for water resource
management.
Aimed at academics and postgraduate researchers in departments
of physical geography, earth sciences, environmental science,
environmental management, civil engineering, biology, zoology,
botany and ecology; Ecohydraulics: An Integrated Approach
will be of direct relevance to academics, researchers and
professionals working in environmental research organisations,
national agencies and consultancies.
