Aprašymas

The Bhagirathi-Hooghly Basin in India is one of the most densely populated regions in the world and is undergoing rapid urbanization. Human interventions on Basin landforms, and processes that shape the landforms, have reached an alarming point. This book uses spatio-temporal analysis to understand the major anthropogenic signatures on land use and land cover changes, urbanization, and their impact on fluvial forms and processes. It answers the what, where, why, and how the anthropogenic signatures are involved. Recent case studies on the impact of urban signatures on fluvial processes, make this book a useful resource for urban planners and all concerned with rural developments.
