Synopsis

This book is a historical examination of the training or regulation of river systems across four different conditions that rivers may face as their conditions change. The author, an expert on river systems, examines the historical methods of controlling a river's flow to promote navigation and trade to improve river usage. Broken into four sections, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and benefits of regulating different river types, including non-tidal, tidal, and those with deltas, across their differing conditions. The author also examines the impact of these regulations on each river's ecology and communities nearby. This book provides an insightful look at the careful balance between nature and commerce that is necessary to manage our rivers responsibly.
