This book is part of a two-volume set that offers an innovative approach towards developing methods and tools for assigning conservation categories of threatened taxa and their conservation strategies by way of different phases of eco-restoration in the context of freshwater river systems of tropical bio-geographic zones. The set provides a considerable volume of research on the biodiversity component of river ecosystems, seasonal dynamics of physical chemical parameters, geo-hydrological properties, types, sources and modes of action of different types of pollution, river restoration strategies and methodologies for the ongoing ecological changes of river ecosystems. Volume 1 provides an in-depth analysis of different theories with international relevance pertaining to the functioning of river ecosystems, shaping their structure and contributing ecological services, and includes the principles of riverine ecology such as biogeochemical cycles, physiography, hydrogeology, and physico-chemical parameters. It covers the basic concepts and principles of water within riverine ecosystems, and the underlying ecological principles operating to ensure ecological stability and sustainability of the fluvial ecosystem. The book explains the ecofunctionality of different geo-morphological, geo-hydrological and physico-chemical factors and processes in changing time scales and spaces, with special emphasis on the tropical fresh water rivers in India.

This book discusses current knowledge and challenges with the ecological management and conservation of wetlands, with a focus on the East Kolkata Wetlands of India. This area is referred to as a Ramsar Site, a designation given to areas with special protection statuses, since it is the largest natural waste recycling system in the world. The site faces many threats to its biodiversity and ecosystem functioning due to anthropogenic activity in the region, and therefore an assessment of the ecosystem services, bio-ecological uniqueness, and issues stemming from climate change and human impacts is needed to develop protection strategies for the future ecological functioning and sustainability of the wetlands. The authors use GIS and remote sensing techniques to assess and monitor harmful industrial and environmental impacts on the wetlands, and to inform mitigation and conservation strategies in the face of ongoing threats such as pollution, habitat destruction and bioinvasion. Thebook also highlights various social and economic aspects tied to the functioning and management of the wetlands, along with ecological, biological, and physio-chemical considerations. The study will be of use to students and researchers in aquatic ecology, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability and conservation, as well as to environmental planners, engineers, and policymakers.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the intricate relationship between urban environments and the crucial function of wetland ecosystems in enhancing the resilience of cities worldwide. This literary work provides an extensive examination of the various aspects involved in urban wetlands, focusing on their ecological, socio-economic, and climatic importance within the ever-changing landscape of rapid urban growth. This study thoroughly examines the role of these often-underestimated natural habitats as crucial contributors in the mitigation of diverse environmental hazards, such as flood control, water purification, and protection against the effects of climate change. Additionally, these habitats provide essential ecosystem services that are vital for the welfare of urban communities. By incorporating a range of viewpoints, examining specific instances, and drawing upon interdisciplinary investigations, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of novel approaches, flexible management methods, and successful policy structures that are essential for the seamless integration of urban wetlands into sustainable urban planning. This integration is vital for promoting resilience in cities situated in various geographical and socio-cultural contexts.With contributions from leading experts and practitioners in the field, the book is a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, urban planners, environmental professionals, community stakeholders, and students interested in advancing knowledge and practice at the intersection of wetland conservation and urban resilience.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the present state of environmental perturbations in mangrove ecosystems, with special focus on the Indian Sundarbans, one of the most biologically productive, economically potential, aesthetically celebrated and ecologically sensitive ecosystems in the world. The book highlights the ecological uniqueness of the Indian Sundarbans Mangrove Ecosystem, and covers the socio-ecological impacts that environmental changes have had on biodiversity and the adaptability and resilience of local populations who depend on the environment's ecosystem services. Alongside highlighting the detailed biodiversity status, significant attention is given to exploring various sustainable conservation strategies in response to environmental perturbation in these estuarine-mangrove ecosystems, including the development of community infrastructure based on surveys and extensive planning of resource management, especially on of freshwater and food availability, management of strategies for natural hazards and disasters, and necessity of using eco-monitoring tools such as remote sensing and GIS to facilitate community engagement and informed management. The book is meant for academics, researchers, and students interested in natural sciences, environmental planning and management, as well as environmental policy makers.
