Chapter 8: Future speculations and challenges. 330 $aThis book discusses the issue of riverbank erosion and its associated causes, risks and social challenges in the Bengal Delta. The book covers the physical processes and indicators of riverbank erosion such as sediment flux and channel morphology, the anthropogenic and natural causes of erosion, the social consequences that afflict vulnerable communities who depend on the delta for their livelihoods, and potential solutions to harmful erosion processes such as bioengineering methods and increased community governance through a socio-hydrological approach. Though the Bengal Delta is one of the most populated regions in the world, few publications exist that discuss riverbank erosion as a major threat to environmental and livelihood sustainability in a comprehensive manner. The book will fill this gap in research for students and researchers in geography and environmental sciences, and will engage regional planners, decision makers and policy makers to further their understanding of the complex social and environmental aspects of the Bengal Delta associated with persistent and worsening riverbank erosion. 410 0$aSpringer Geography,$x2194-3168 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aGeography 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aPhysical Geography 606 $aRegional Geography 606 $aNatural Hazards 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 14$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aRegional Geography. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 676 $a551.3 700 $aIslam$b Aznarul$01631675 702 $aGuchhait$b Sanat Kumar 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831015603321 996 $aRiverbank Erosion in the Bengal Delta$93970461 997 $aUNINA
