Hydro-Meteorological Extremes And Disasters

Understanding the mechanism of climate change and climate variability is an important aspect and requires monitoring in their regional perspectives.Also, the book serves as a reference to researchers and students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. Climate change is a critical issue and having serious concern.

This work includes the analysis of 18 disaster case studies worldwide, of which 12 case studies are within the natural and 6 case studies within the man-made disaster category. The book is a useful read for researchers and students of disaster management. The criteria for choosing these examples is based on the division into natural and man-made disaster subcategories and the period of their occurrence, from 1991 to 2021..

Also, the book serves as a reference to researchers and students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. This book is of interest and useful to academicians, researchers, scientists, environmentalists, land resource managers, climate change scientists, forest administrators. Smart and resilient urbanization are essential in tackling the growing threat of climate instability. It deals with the concept of climate resilient urban development, effective implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation actions to promote urbanization from a social, economic, and environmental perspective.

Further topics include the stability of hydraulic structures, sediment transport, and debris flow in the hilly streams.

Essential information is provided on River dynamics, hydrological processes and climate change issues, and an individual chapter is devoted to ecological restoration and river hazard management.

In addition, a systematic table of content is given to aid in identifying River hazards challenges and opportunities.

The book brings together broad range of topics including basic concepts, exposure, risk, resilience and vulnerability. Hydro-Meteorological Extremes and Disasters It systematically describes the integrated risk of various hydro-meteorological extreme events.
