Publisher's Synopsis
Erosion, deposition and flooding are natural phenomena, and an integral part of the natural landscape. For example, the processes can shape the coastal cliffs and broad meandering rivers which are part of our natural heritage. These processes only become hazards or problems when society encroaches into these dynamic environments, either for housing, development or transportation. This study aims to provide an assessment of erosion, deposition and flooding processes, with particular reference to their significance in land use planning and development, and the impact on the economy and significance for the environment.
