Gully Erosion Studies from India and Surrounding Regions: Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation

Editat de Pravat Kumar Shit, Hamid Reza Pourghasemi, Gouri Sankar Bhunia
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2020
This book offers the scientific basis for the ample evaluation of badland management in India and some surrounding regions. It examines the processes operating in the headwaters and main channels of ephemeral rivers in lateritic environments of India. In particular, the book covers a range of vital topics in the areas of gully erosion and water to soil erosion at lateritic uplands regions of India and other regions in Asia. It explores the probable gully erosion modeling through Remote Sensing & GIS Techniques.

It is divided into three units. Unit I deals with the introduction of badland, types of badland and the process of badland formation. Unit II is devoted to a description of quantitative measurements. Unit III deals with the control and management processes related to various issues from different regions.

As such this book serves as a reference book for research activities in this area. It is an efficient guide for aspiring researchers in applied geography,explaining advanced techniques to help students recognize both simple and complex concepts.
