Faris: Restoring the Natural Order: A Scientific Assessment of Floodplain Reconnection, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Restoring the Natural Order" dives deep into the science behind floodplain reconnection, a strategy for improving river health. Floodplains are the low-lying areas next to rivers that naturally flood during high water events. Human intervention has often separated these areas from the main channel, disrupting the river's natural cycle.
This book presents a scientific assessment of floodplain reconnection. It explores the ecological benefits, such as improved water quality and habitat restoration for fish and wildlife. The book also examines the potential drawbacks, like increased flood risk in some areas.
By analyzing data and case studies, "Restoring the Natural Order" provides a balanced view of this approach to river management. It's a valuable resource for scientists, environmental policymakers, and anyone interested in the health of our rivers and the ecosystems they support
