River Science Research: Multidisciplinary To Trans Disciplinary
Abstract
We are in the decay where water is important as well as complex concern of our day to day life. River is the main source of surface water. It’s merely essential to figure out the issues that will affect the river changes for successful river management. Due to enormously uncertain spatial; temporal multidimensional characteristic of river change it’s very difficult to give exact theoretical concept to address this issue. There is inherent contradiction that what the basis for river management is; since property of river change cannot be explained and expressed by single factor. Therefore, river changes scenario should have to realize as dynamic process. Integrated assessment of physical and socioeconomic scales in rivers changes improve our understanding and provide greater potential for long-term persistence of river management and it will require a conceptual framework. A successful development of conceptual framework should provide a basis for multi-disciplinary researcher with very diverse goals for river changes to come together in support of better river management. To see regularity in the behavior of river change, it is necessary to prepare a conceptual framework. In this paper an attempt has been made to prepare the conceptual framework of river changes to get more to Trans disciplinary research.
