The book also addresses the impact and control of invasive snails and details monitoring techniques that have been developed in recent years. The authors also outline recent threats and explore potential scenarios involving invasive biofouling of freshwater mollusks.
While many books have been written on sediment and contaminant transport, this book takes a more focused approach, highlighting areas that have been recently investigated but not covered thoroughly elsewhere. It emphasizes the erosion, deposition, flocculation, and transport of fine-grained, cohesive sediments; the effects of finite rates of sorption on the transport and fate of hydrophobic contaminants; and the effects of major events such as floods and storms. The text assists readers in the qualitative understanding of and ability to predict the transport of sediments and hydrophobic contaminants in surface areas.

Role of Sediment in the Design and Management of Irrigation Canals UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis Krishna Prasad Paudel This book contains research that analyses relevant aspects of sediment transport in irrigation canals and then suggests a design and management approach. Content assesses various design parameters that affect the hydraulic and sediment transport performance. It also proposes a procedure to correct equilibrium sediment transport predictors so that they include the effects of shear and velocity distribution in nonwide irrigation canals. To analyze the impact of operation and maintenance on sediment movement, the author applies a mathematical model SETRIC, using a case study of Sunsari Morang Irrigation Scheme in Nepal. Catalog no.
