Channel responses to global change and local impacts: perspectives and tools for floodplain management -- 4. Impact scales of fluvial response to management along the Sacramento River, California, USA: Transience versus persistence -- 5. Flooding, structural flood control measures, and a geomorphic context for the flood problem along the Red River, Manitoba, Canada -- 6. Flooding, structural flood control measures, and a geomorphic context for the flood problem along the Red River, Manitoba, Canada -- 7. Geomorphic Perspectives of Managing, Modifying and Restoring a River with Prolonged Flooding: Kissimmee River, Florida, USA -- 8. Managing the Mississippi River Floodplain: Achieving ecological benefits requires more than hydrological connection to the river -- 9. The role of floodplain restoration in mitigating flood risk, Lower Missouri River, USA.- 10. Post-dam channel and floodplain adjustment to the Lower Volga River, Russia -- 11. Embanking the Lower Danube: from natural to engineered floodplains and back -- 12. Historical Development and Integrated Management of the Rhône River Floodplain, from the Alps to the Camargue Delta, France -- 13. The Role of Floodplain Geomorphology in Policy and Management Decisions along the Lower Mississippi River in Louisiana -- 14. The palimpsest of river-floodplain management and the role of geomorphology.

This volume provides a comprehensive perspective on geomorphic approaches to management of lowland alluvial rivers in North America and Europe. Many lowland rivers have been heavily managed for flood control and navigation for decades or centuries, resulting in engineered channels and embanked floodplains with substantially altered sediment loads and geomorphic processes. Over the past decade, floodplain management of many lowland rivers has taken on new importance because of concerns about the potential for global environmental change to alter floodplain processes, necessitating revised management strategies that minimize flood risk while enhancing environmental attributes of floodplains influenced by local embankments and upstream dams. Recognition of the failure of old perspectives on river management and the need to enhance environmental sustainability has stimulated a new approach to river management. The manner that river restoration and integrated management are implemented, however, requires a case study approach that takes into account the impact of historic human impacts to the system, especially engineering. The river basins examined in this volume provide a representative coverage of the drainage of North America and Europe, taking into account a range of climatic and physiographic provinces. They include the 1) Sacramento (California, USA), 2) San Joaquin (California), 3) Missouri (Missouri, USA), 4) Red (Manitoba, Canada and Minnesota, USA), 5) Mississippi (Louisiana, USA), 6) Kissimmee (Florida, USA), 7) Ebro (Spain), 8) Rhone (France), 9) Rhine (Netherlands), 10) Danube (Romania), and 11) Volga (Russian Federation) Rivers. The case studies covered in these chapters span a range of fluvial modes of adjustment, including sediment, channel, hydrologic regime, floodplains, as well as ecosystem and environmental associations.
