Overview

Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) describe the pathways through which sediment is transported from its source to its final deposition area. These systems comprise processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition, influenced by factors such as climate, topography, vegetation, and human activities. In a typical SRS, sediments generated by weathering and erosion in upland areas are carried by rivers and streams to lowland regions, eventually reaching lakes, deltas, or oceans. Understanding SRS is crucial for managing landscapes and mitigating environmental issues like soil erosion, river siltation, and habitat degradation. It enables to predict sediment movement, plan effective land use, and develop strategies to protect infrastructure and ecosystems from sediment-related impacts. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of Sediment Routing Systems. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined here in detail. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
