Throughout the world, river conservation is becoming an increasingly important concern. In arid regions, for instance, rivers often form the only water resource for human sustenance: indeed, the World Bank has predicted that future wars will be about water. In many parts of the developing world, rivers are used as repositories for waste, and river ecosystems consequently reflect the worst excesses of human exploitation. In the industrialised nations, the focus of attention is beginning to move from chemical clean-up to restoring the structural damage to rivers caused by decades of river engineering. Recognition is growing that river management needs a catchment-wide perspective if the needs of human populations, river habitats and wildlife are to reach a sustainable balance. The development of river conservation strategies has become a global imperative. Global Perspectives on River Conservation is the first book that provides a truly global synthesis of knowledge on river conservation, with the aim of encouraging strategic river planning. It does this in two ways. First, it sets out a worldwide, region-by-region overview of the science, policy and practice of river conservation. Second, it provides a topical review of different river settings (such as tropical/temperate; temporary/perennial; large/small) and contemporary issues in river conservation (such as classification and evaluation; environmental legislation; the role of public participation). Global Perspectives on River Conservation is an invaluable reference for river managers, planners and developers, conservationists, statutory water agencies, government departments, academics, researchers, postgraduates and final-year under-graduates working in the field of environmental management of inland waters.

The basic concepts of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) and the normative, strategic, and operative dimensions of the process are explained in simple, unbiased terms in this guide. Twelve case studies illustrate the scale and scope of river basin organization in different parts of the world--from local projects such as the Gagas River Basin to larger, transboundary basin work on the Mekong and the Rhine. Environmental considerations, institutional arrangements, and implementation processes are also highlighted to increase understanding of these concepts within the context of IWRM.

Brisbane?s annual Riversymposium plays a unique role, providing an exchange and synthesis of river management knowledge and practice. In presenting a holistic, integrated approach to the subject it aims to showcase the world's best practice in river management and so act as a forum for learning and exchange of ideas for river managers, to celebrate achievements in river management, giving full value to social and ecological aspects of rivers, and to increase public attention to issues of river management. In keeping with its goal of addressing all aspects of river management, the 2001 Riversymposium featured several key topics and river management case studies. From the wide-ranging and lively programme 31 articles have been selected for these proceedings. Following the keynote address there are sections covering: Human Impacts on River Health; Rivers as Urban Landscapes - the Renaissance of the Waterfront; The Economics of River Management; Sustainable River Management; Community Involvement in River Management; Environmental Flows. With contributions from around the world, the Riversymposium proceedings present a holistic view of river management, offering scientists, politicians, practitioners, industry and community groups a key resource on current issues relating to the management of rivers.
