Damodar River in India has been extensively regulated by major dams since the 1950s to manage water resources and control floods. According to the Central Water Commission and Damodar Valley Corporation report (2018, 2006), the Maithon, Panchet, and Tenughat dams suffer from a considerable reduction in water-holding capacity by 38%, 25.17%, and 16.8% respectively due to substantial sediment production from the upper catchment. The unpredictable nature of climate change in addition to human-caused impacts (deforestation, open cast mining) significantly enhanced soil erosion and ready downstream transfer into the channels. Thus, it is essential to identify the sediment source zone and understand the nature of connectivity between the sediment source and to sink (dam) simultaneously managing the sediment yield from the upper catchment is also important for increasing the life span of dams. The book examines the entire domain of sedimentation processes connected to the dams by exploring the upper catchment's sediment source zone and downslope sediment connectivity considering numerous landscape features into account. The book will appeal to environmental scientists and civil engineers, as well as students, researchers, dam operators, government agencies, policymakers, management planners, conservation organizations, local communities, earth science, and applied geomorphology. 410 0$aEarth and Environmental Sciences Library,$x2730-6682 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aSoil science 606 $aEarth Sciences 606 $aNatural Hazards 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aSoil Science 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 14$aEarth Sciences. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aSedimentology. 615 24$aSoil Science. 676 $a550 700 $aAlam$b Sk Asraful$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01821408 702 $aMaiti$b Ramkrishna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911001470803321 996 $aSediment Source to Sink: Deciphering Sediment Connectivity to Large Dams in Damodar River Basin$94385351 997 $aUNINA
