Ecohydraulics: An Integrated Approach represents the first major research level text to focus on ecohydraulics. It outlines the development of the subject and focuses on interdisciplinary research that examines:- * The evolution and scope of ecohydraulics * Interactions between hydraulics, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and aquatic ecology * Aquatic habitat modelling in ecohydraulic studies * State of the art methodological developments and approaches * Detailed case studies including fish passage design and determination of environmental flows * Research needs and the future of ecohydraulic research The book featuresa wide geographic coverage, case studies and methods used to conduct ecohydrolic research. It considers a range of spatial and temporal scales of relevance and aquatic organisms ranging from algae and macroinvertebrates and fish. Ecohydraulics: An Integrated Approach is well suited to academics and postgraduate researchers in departments of physical geography, earth sciences, environmental science, environmental management, civil engineering, biology, zoology, botany and ecology.
