Water resources development—Environmental aspects.0300Water is the most powerful agent in shaping the earth’s surface through the processes of rivers, glaciers, ground water, weathering, mass movement, and oceans. Water is also an important element that played a pivotal role in the development of the world’s civilizations. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have harnessed water in many different ways for their physical existence and the sustenance of the environment. Diverting water permanently or temporarily for construction purposes, e.g., in river or stream beds, to install sediment control, stormwater devices or when realigning a waterway, can significantly affect the natural character of a waterway and the surrounding habitat. Water is diverted using instream barriers such as dams, weirs, culverts, canals, and pipes that are used in the construction process. This comprehensive book provides the practising engineer with a concise overview of the methods of water diversion and exclusion or removal of sediment from the diverted water as well the significant environmental effects. This book will appeal to at students, non-lawyers involved with water issues, and general readers interested complex water rights law and environmental health.01000302https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0623/5622/6271/products/front1RiverWaterDiversionEnvironmentalEffectsandImplications_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=167878965201IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021495.00INRWORLD
