This book presents the select proceedings of the 1st International Conference on River Corridor Research and Management (RCRM 2021). It describes various topics on fluvio-hydro-ecological processes of river systems. The topics covered include river dynamics and morphological changes, river health and ecological aspects and satellite remote sensing for river corridor studies. The book also discusses the morphological behavior of gravel and sand-bed rivers, hydrological and hydraulics modeling and other important aspects of riverine ecology. The book will be a valuable reference for research scholars, academicians, river scientists and practitioners working in the areas of river science.
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.
A number of rivers across the United States are now being successfully managed for a broad range of objectives. The eight case studies in this report illustrate innovative and successful strategies for multi-objective river corridor planning and management. Rivers throughout the country were chosen to represent a variety of physiographic and climatic zones and include both urban and rural communities. Key information about each project is described, including a summary of important planning and implementation aspects, a description of innovative design and technical solutions with illustrations, and a discussion of institutional arrangements and successful partnerships.
Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal Discover a groundbreaking new wastewater decontamination technology The removal of wastewater contaminants is a key aspect of the water cycle, allowing water to be fed safely back into circulation within a given ecosystem. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous materials which can reversibly bind and sequester both metal ions and potentially harmful organic substances, giving them a potentially crucial role in the targeted removal of wastewater contaminants. They may also enable significant cost and energy savings over now-conventional ion exchangers in water treatment plants. Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal provides an accessible, practical guide to the development, evaluation, and potential applications of MOFs in maintaining the water cycle. It begins with an overview of the major metallic and non-metallic contaminants found in wastewater and their interactions with major MOF-based materials, before moving to the challenges and opportunities provided by MOFs in the pursuit of a sustainable, energy-efficient water cycle. The result is a groundbreaking resource in the ever-expanding global fight to keep water clean and safe. Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal readers will also find: MOF technology and its water treatment applications discussed in depth for the first time in a major publication Comparison with existing decontamination technologies and environmental risk assessment Applications for environmental as well as industrial toxicants based on recent research and on case studies Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal is indispensable for water chemists, chemical engineers, environmental chemists, and for any researchers or industry professionals working with water decontamination technologies.
