Recent Development in River Corridor Management Select Proceedings of RCRM 2022

This book presents the select proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on River Corridor Research and Management (2022). It describes various topics on fluvio-hydro-ecological processes of river systems. The topics covered include river hydraulics, river dynamics, experimental and field hydraulics and remote sensing applications. The book also discusses the river aquatic health, river ecology and other aligned areas. The book is a valuable reference for research scholars, academicians, river scientists and practitioners working in the areas of river science.
