Debris flow channels are characterized by a number of characteristics that are affected on the steady flow (with the uniform velocity). The problem deepens and becomes more abrupt in a case where the control of the debris flow in the waterway is carried out by using engineering measures.

 

Particularly, compression of the debris flow by means of lateral structures causes its lateral deformation and occurrence of wave motion. By using the above mentioned, both the stability of channel processes and potential occurrence of deformation acquire special significance in matters of studying the stability of steady flow (debris-flow). In order to assess the stability of the debris flow and for forecasting the probable lateral compression, considering the rheological characteristics, we have derived the equation for computing the correlation between debris flow depth and wave depth, and lateral compression.

This Textbook covers key topics on Environmental Engineering based on the fundamental scientific and engineering principles. The theoretical aspects of each topic, ways and methods of solving environmental problems are described. The visual material is widely presented.

​

The Textbook pays great attention to the influence of human activities on the quality of air, water and soil purity. Ways to reduce the negative impact are listed.

​

The Textbook is intended for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students of construction specialties, as well as for specialists and scientists working in this and related fields.

The Textbook entitled "Water Resources Monitoring" deals with the monitoring of water pollution caused by non-point sources. Methods for constructing monitoring systems are described. Much attention is paid to methods of statistical analysis of data obtained as a result of monitoring.

​

The Textbook is intended for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students, as well as for experts working in the field of hydraulic engineering, hydraulic engineering amelioration, hydrology, environmental engineering and hydrogeology. It will also be of great help to specialists and scientists working in the field of water resources management and monitoring.

This monograph deals with such issues as: introduction of modern irrigation technologies in the traditional agricultural farming systems of the South Caucasus trans-boundary region; characteristics of intensity of damages of irrigation schemes and their forecast; impact of surface irrigation on the intensity of irrigation erosion; simulation model of the growing and development process of agricultural crops; ecological strategy of rational use of water resources in the light of climate change

 

This monograph is mainly intended for masters of "Water Engineering" and "Environmental Engineering", although it will be of great help to masters and doctoral students in these and related specialties; engineers and scientists working in the field of integrated water resources management and environment.
