Produktbeschreibung
Considering geographical and historical factors, the book draws on both natural processes and human activities, to analyse how river valleys function and highlight contemporary challenges relating to water resource management in the context of climate change. The collection is divided into four parts, Rivers, Flow, Control, and Economy. The first part consists of studies on rivers in Galicia from geographical, borderland, legislative and literary perspectives. The second deals with the floods that regularly affected Galicia in the 19th and 20th centuries, causing significant economic and social damage, providing pertinent parallels with current issues in the context of climate change. The third part analyses the actions of the state and autonomous authorities, aimed at controlling rivers through regulation, the construction of flood embankments, and the drainage of wetlands. The final part includes studies on the role of rivers in the economic life.
This is a detailed and fascinating examination for scholars and students interested in Eastern European environmental history, hydrology, environmental management and water resource governance, and environmental economics.
