Regulation of sediment regime of river ecosystems

Abstract

It is necessary, however, to take into consideration the fact that the fate of any water management scheme, project, or facility depends primarily on the validity of the hydrological/water management portion of the plans, inadequate proof of which is often decisive in a negative assessment when the plan is reviewed. Construction of any specific water project outside a solidly grounded plan for multipurpose water resource utilization always entails losses to the economy, together with lowering of its water-management and economic benefits.The editors invite the readers of this journal to take part in discussing ways to increase the reliability and level of evidentiary support for water projects proposed for implementation.
