Over the last two decades environmental hydraulics as an academic discipline has expanded considerably, caused by growing concerns over water environmental issues associated with pollution and water balance problems on regional and global scale. These issues require a thorough understanding of processes related to environmental flows and transport phenomena, and the development of new approaches for practical solutions.
Environmental Hydraulics includes about 200 contributions from 35 countries presented at the 6th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (Athens, Greece, 23-25 June 2010). They cover the state-of-the-art on a broad range of topics, including :
* Fundamentals aspects of environmental fluid mechanics
* Environmental hydraulics problems of inland, coastal and ground waters
* Interfacial processes; computational, experimental and field measurement techniques
* Ecological aspects
* Effects of global climate change.
Environmental Hydraulics will be of interest to researchers, civil environmental engineers, and professional engineers dealing with the design and operation of environmental hydraulic works such as wastewater treatment and disposal, river and marine constructions, and to academics and graduate students in related fields.
