The book is dedicated to addressing floods from an integrated physical-social perspective to provide students and researchers with a holistic understanding of floods in terms of both human and geomorphological aspects. The systematic coverage of all the major rivers and coastal areas in the GBM delta and surrounding regions will foster a clear comprehension of this dense reservoir of population, where thousands of people are impacted every year due to flood hazards and agricultural destabilization. This comprehensive treatment of flood issues in the region covers flash floods, fluvial floods, fluvio-tidal floods, and coastal floods, and outlines flood management strategies to maintain ecological integrity and environmental stability, and prevent harmful impacts of future floods. The book is intended for students and researchers in earth and environmental sciences, especially geomorphology, hydrology, geography, geology, natural resources management, and regional planning. 410 0$aSpringer geography. 606 $aFloodplain management 606 $aFloods 606 $aFloods$zBangladesh 615 0$aFloodplain management. 615 0$aFloods. 615 0$aFloods 676 $a333.75 702 $aIslam$b Aznarul 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910672440503321 996 $aFloods in the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta$93374555 997 $aUNINA
