River, Sediment and Hydrological Extremes: Causes, Impacts and Management

Part of the book series: Disaster Resilience and Green Growth ((DRGG))

  • 186 Accesses

Abstract

The world over the years has been subject to various significant natural hazards and has experienced their catastrophic impacts. Recurring hydro-meteorological occurrences tend to impact individuals unfavorably and result in severe economic loss compared to other natural disasters. Climate change will impose a wide array of stressors on urban areas. River flooding is an annual phenomenon in most of the big rivers. River system morphology is a significant study area for research on higher and lower hydrological extremes and their effects. River systems have undergone a massive transformation since the Anthropocene. Extreme events are part of the natural environment creating diverse habitats through processes of erosion and deposition. Human-induced climate change is predicted to increase average temperature, leading to an increase in variables, so a well-developed sustainable approach to managing risks is needed for the integrity of nature.
