Book Description

The Fifth International Conference on River Basin Management presents recent advances in the overall management of riverine systems, including advances in hydraulic and hydrological modelling, ecology, environmental management and flood forecasting.

In recent years, significant advances have been made in the development and application of software tools for predicting flow, water quality, sediment transport and ecological processes in riverine systems. The conference is thus the ideal forum for practitioners and academia to highlight the latest developments in this field and to discuss the experience of applying such tools to practical riverine problems.
