Description
(Text)
This book bridges the gap between research, practice, and policy by offering practical insights and evidence-based solutions. It provides a comprehensive guide to addressing the challenges posed by climate change and extensive human activities on global delta ecosystems. Through in-depth analysis, it examines delta resilience, sustainable practices, and strategies for restoring and safeguarding natural resources. The book underscores the importance of studying rivers and their biophysical dynamics, showing how urbanization, groundwater extraction, agricultural intensification, channel regulation, and upstream interventions - together with coastal hazards such as sea-level rise, salinity intrusion, and hurricanes - jeopardize delta social-ecological systems.
Modern geospatial technologies play a central role, with discussions on data mining, modeling, assessment, and visualization. The book explores management strategies and cutting-edge approaches to delta health, leveraging open-source software, statistical programming, modeling platforms, and artificial intelligence. These strategies help address complex delta challenges while contributing to key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG2, SDG6, SDG13, SDG14, SDG15, and SDG17.
Organized into thematic chapters, the book blends theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and actionable recommendations. It integrates data from diverse delta regions to offer a holistic perspective, supported by diagrams, charts, maps, and case studies for improved understanding. This makes the book both a foundational reference and an inspirational guide for fostering resilient and sustainable delta ecosystems capable of withstanding climate uncertainties and human-induced pressures.
It is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, administrators, educators, communities, farmers, and practitioners, offering innovative practices and adaptive strategies to support sustainable delta resilience in the face of growing climate and anthropogenic challenges.
