represent areas in which recent progress has been made in the
field. The topics covered also represent a coherent progression
through the principal areas of the subject (hydraulics; sediment
transport; river morphology; tools and methods; applications of
science).

rivers

* Edited by leading academics with contributions from key
researchers

* Thoroughly edited for quality and consistency to provide
coherent and logical progression through the principal areas of the
