The book seamlessly brings together contributions from eco-hydraulics, flood modelling, geospatial science, and climate studies, offering a unified and holistic approach to river corridor research. It incorporates cutting-edge techniques such as Bidirectional LSTM, hybrid neural networks, sub-grid hydraulic models, and integrated hydrologic-hydraulic simulations, highlighting the convergence of artificial intelligence with traditional water engineering. The volume includes a wide spectrum of real-world case studies from major Indian river basins (Brahmaputra, Chaliyar, Mahanadi, Dhansiri, Kunur), making the research contextually relevant for South Asian hydrological and climatic challenges. The findings offer direct implications for flood risk reduction, urban drainage management, climate adaptation, and river basin planning-supporting decision-makers and practitioners

Prof. Subashisa Dutta is presently working as a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati. He is currently working as a Professor of Civil Engineering and Professor-in-charge of the Space Technology Cell at IIT Guwahati. He was a visiting fellow at the Technical University of Munich, Germany and the Kyoto University in Japan and has visited several other countries for research and academic collaborations. His research interests include fluvial hydraulics, hydro informatics and advanced remote sensing for water resources applications, hill slope hydrology, urban hydrology and climatic change. He has been working on various sponsored and consultancy research projects in distributed hydrological modeling, sediment budgeting, flood inundation modeling, river basin management and bank protection. He is a member of the water resources thematic group in the Ganga River Basin Environment Management Plan, the Brahmaputra Board and several other academic and research organizations.

Dr. Vinay Chembolu is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Civil Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Jammu. He obtained his B.Tech. (Civil) from the University College of Engineering Kakinada—Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (UCEK-JNTU) Kakinada, and M.Tech. and Ph.D. in Water Resources Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. His major research interests include river engineering, river dynamics and experimental and field hydraulics. He has published his research work in various reputed international journals. He has been working with various research and consultancy projects for river training, development of waterways, dam break analysis, flood inundation modeling and environmental flows, all pertaining to the Indian rivers. He has been actively involved in conducting hydrographic surveys in challenging rivers like the Brahmaputra, Kosi, Brahmani and the Himalayan Rivers using advanced river surveying equipment. Dr. Vinay is a founding organizer of the International Conference on River Corridor Research and Management (RCRM) and served as an editor for the Proceedings of RCRM Springer series
