This volume considers the implications of the environmental change-development nexus for water management, river health and hazard awareness. These ideas are mirrored in the four case study chapters which deal with water governance in the Mekong Basin (Hirsch), hybrid adoption of water resource technologies in India (Barbanente et al.), determination of sediment dynamics in Java Rijsdijk), and ecological conservation imperatives in the headwaters of the Yellow, Yangtze and Mekong rivers in western China (Li et al.).
