This edited book covers all aspects of River related disasters, challenges, and opportunities. Step-by-step descriptions are provided of river dynamics and associated hazards, and their applications in hazard assessments, accompanied by several experimental, filed and numerical studies. In addition, a systematic table of content is given to aid in identifying River hazards challenges and opportunities. 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. Further topics include the stability of hydraulic structures, sediment transport, and debris flow in the hilly streams. This book will provide students, researchers, scientists, water resources managers with a comprehensive overview of the River dynamics and flood hazards in various sectors of water-related disasters and will enable them to explore the scope of application of the computational techniques and will enable them to explore the scope of River related disasters, allied branches and their field-specific problems. Professionals and policymakers may also explore the implementation of these approaches in their workplace to tackle complex river dynamics and hydrological phenomena occurring in their study area.

Dr Manish Pandey graduated in Civil Engineering from Uttarakhand Technical University, India. He completed his masters and doctorate from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. Presently, Dr Pandey is Assistant Professor at NIT Warangal since 2019. He has more than 5 years teaching and research experience in experimental hydraulics and water resources engineering. He has authored more than 35 peer-reviewed journal papers and 10+ book chapters and conference proceeding papers.  He has guided 1 PhD and 5 M.Tech students. Presently he is guiding 4 PhD and 5 M.Tech students. He was also awarded MOST postdoctoral research grant in year 2018. He is a member of the editorial board of Journals: Journal of Water Management Modeling and Larhyss Journal. He has also handled guest editorship for Frontiers in Environmental Science Journal, SI: The Urban Fluvial and Hydro-Environment System. Dr. Pandey is an active reviewer in several reputed peer-reviewed journals like ASCE Journal of Irrigation and Drainage, IAHR Journal of Hydro-environment Research Research, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Journal of Hydrology, etc. Dr Hazi Azamathulla is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine, Trinidad. He has a degree in Civil Engineering from SKD University (India), Masters degree in Water Resources from Devi Ahilya University (India) and a Doctorate in Hydraulic engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. His research interests and activities are in the fields of physical hydraulic model studies and hydroinformatics. He has authored more than 100 peer reviewed journal papers and book chapters. He has guided 7 Ph.D. students and 16 masters students. He has been a member of the editorial board of several high ranked Journals: Water Science and Technology, Water Science and Technology: Water Supply, Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering – ASCE (2009-2013), Dam EngineeringJournal. He is the Associate Editor of journal of hydrology (Elsevier). Dr Jaan H. Pu is an Associate Professor at University of Bradford, UK. His research concentrates on modelling and laboratory approaches to represent various water engineering applications which include naturally compound riverine flow, sediment transport, water quality, and vegetated flow. His research outputs have led to several journal articles (50+), conference proceedings (10+), edited books (2), and book- chapters (2). He has/is supervising 7 PhD students at Bradford (5 as their principal supervisor) to investigate river hydrodynamics, sediment transport and water quality challenging applications. He has been appointed as the Associate Editor by Frontiers in Environmental Science (IF 4.581); and Leading/Guest Editing various Special Issues for MDPI Fluids, MDPI Water, and Frontiers in Environmental Science. He is also currently Visiting Scientist to Tsinghua University, China, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
