River Flow 2012. Vol. 1 [electronic resource] : Proceedings of the International Conference on Fluvial Hydraulics, San José, Costa Rica, 5-7 September 2012 / editor, Rafael Murillo Muñoz.
Rivers are complex entities. In addition to being valuable wildlife habitats, they support human activities by providing water for human usage, renewable energy and convenient transportation. Rivers may also pose threats to riverine communities, in the form of floods and other natural or man-induced...
