The variability of large alluvial rivers

About This Book
The Amazon, Niger, Nile, Mississippi, Yellow, Indus, and Murray rivers are among nineteen rivers examined by engineers and earth scientists to explain the complex nature diversity of dominant controls, and engineering implications of large alluvial-river variability. Each river discussed provides an important example of natural river variability illustrating the geologic, sedimentologic, tectonic, temporal, and human controls that influence river stability.
Experts detail specific river engineering problems and a geomorphic-engineering approach to large river management.
