Features: Riverbank environment management is a crucial aspect of the interaction between humans and nature. The process of economic and social development shows that as living standards improve, people's demands for environmental quality also rise significantly. To meet these objective requirements, modern river management faces qualitative improvements in both philosophy and technology, necessitating the creation of harmonious riverbank environments between humans and nature. Based on an exploration of the evolution of river management models, this book studies new challenges in modern river management from multiple perspectives. In light of the comprehensive expansion of preliminary work in river management compared to the past, it elaborates on planning and design theories, technologies, and typical engineering cases that meet the current requirements of river management in China. It can serve as a technical manual for river engineering technicians and management personnel, as well as a reference book for senior undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields studying modern water resources engineering.
