Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, river management has largely focused on water and how to withhold, contain, or withstand the force of its flow within a stream channel. However, it is important for understanding stream processes to realize that streams and rivers are not only moving water--streams also move sediment and woody debris from mountain peaks to the sea. Human land uses that significantly alter the ability of a creek to transport water and sediment will likely cause a stream to become unstable and increase the likelihood that catastrophic erosion or sedimentation may occur during a flood event.
Download or read book Urban River Corridor Management written by Paul Gaskell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you have a statutory responsibility for urban river corridors, or you are a local resident with concerns about how watercourses are managed in your town or city, this book can help. There are significant challenges when balancing infrastructure, property development and flood risk with the essential ecosystem goods and services provided by urban watercourses. The behaviour and functions of rivers are highly counter-intuitive and span multiple specialist disciplines. Adjusting one element within a river corridor can have far reaching, unintended impacts on a range of other functions. As a result, it is important to use the best current knowledge and information to make management decisions. Because healthy urban watercourses have the potential to provide massive societal and financial benefits, it is imperative to manage them to the best possible standards. Passive cooling protection from urban heat island effects, better public health due to air quality improvements, rainfall and floodwater management capacity, refugia for pollinating insects helping to promote food security and wellbeing benefits of urban green spaces are just a few of the essential services generated by urban river corridors. Use this book from the Wild Trout Trust as a tool to help guide more effective decisions affecting urban river corridor management. It can form a reference for negotiations between different stakeholders - or equally can be used to inform proactive creation of sustainable policies. Combining specialist expertise across multiple disciplines will help create a better future for our urban spaces.
