This volume offers vital insights into the origin and evolution of Greek rivers, alongside their ecological and anthropogenic traits. It covers a range of topics, including geomythology, biogeography, hydrology, hydrobiology, hydrogeochemistry, geological and biogeochemical processes, anthropogenic pressures, ecological impacts, and water management practices from antiquity to the present, as well as river restoration. The first part emphasizes the significance of rivers in ancient Greek civilization and the natural processes influencing their evolution during the Holocene. The second part highlights the hydrological, hydrochemical, and biological characteristics of Greek rivers, showcasing their unique biogeographical traits that contribute to high biodiversity and endemism. The third part discusses the effects of environmental pollution on Greek river ecosystems. Finally, the last part addresses current socio-economic factors impacting water management in Greece, the application of ecohydrological approaches for restoring fragmented rivers, and lessons learned in restoring aquatic ecosystems, offering a framework for understanding and mitigating anthropogenic impacts on Mediterranean water resources. This comprehensive coverage makes the book an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and environmental managers.
