About the Book

Containing papers presented seventh international conference on the topic, this book Reviews the advances have been made in the development and application of software tools for predicting the flow, water quality, sediment transport and ecological processes in river systems. Organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, the biennial conference was first held in 2001. The papers presented at the Conference address: Hydrological Modelling; Hydrodynamics; Flood Risk Management; Water Resources Management; Erosion and Sediment Transport; Erosion and Sediment Transport; River Restoration and Rehabilitation; Changing Climate; Eater Quality.
