DESCRIPTION:
In describing the interactions between tide, topography, water quality and river discharge, it provides useful information for hydraulic engineers, morphologists, ecologists and people concerned with water quality in alluvial estuaries.Although the book can be used as a text book, it is mainly a monograph aimed at graduate students and researchers. It provides tools with which human interference in estuary dynamics can be described and predicted, resulting from, for instance: upstream fresh water abstraction, dredging, climate change or sea-level rise. The book presents a review of the state of the art, a comprehensive theoretical background and ample case illustrations from all over the world. T
"Great insights into tidal propagation and salinity intrusion" according to E-Dad. This book characterizes alluvial estuaries in terms of things like length, bank convergence rate and side storage. Savenije then describes how these factors affect the speed of tide propagation, the phase relationship between velocity and water level (progressive v. F. Ruiz García said Very interesting book. Very good book, well structured and written, clear and concise, new ideas and concepts with extraordinary foundations on maths.I received it in 6 days, perfectly packed. Nice service.
