Yes / In the research on environmental hydraulics, its turbulence and sediment transport, constant challenges have been faced. The complexity of hydraulic impacts towards sediment morphology and turbulent flow properties makes research in this area a difficult task. However, due to pressure from climate change and the mounting issue of pollution, environmental flow studies are more crucial than ever. Bedforming within rivers is a complex process that can be influenced by the hydraulics, vegetated field, and various suspended and bedload transports. Changes in flow conditions due to rain and flood can further complicate a hydraulic system. To date, the turbulence, morphologic, and bedforming characteristics of natural environmental flows are still not well understood. This book aims to bring together a collection of state-of-the-art research and technologies to form a useful guide for the related research and engineering communities. It is useful for authorities and researchers interested in environmental and civil engineering studies, as well as for river and water engineers to understand the current state-of-the-art practices in environmental flow modelling, measurement and management. It is also a good resource for research, post-, or undergraduate students who wish to know about the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.
