The most significant link in the water cycle in nature is found in rivers on our globe. The water circuit is not the straightforward illustration we were given as children. This depicts the cycle without a man or his transgressions against nature, to be more specific. Heavenly water falls on a multitude of diverse surfaces and serves a variety of purposes as a result. Additionally, as mankind has evolved, so have the functions of water. Precipitation results from a change in the area's quality. Inhabited by reservoirs, mining and landfills, deforestation, asphalt, and concrete, we have destroyed 70% of the land, and we continue to speed up this process every day. Water evaporates in deteriorated places without altering its structural makeup, just as it did when it first descended from the sky as 2O. Artificial fumes started to overtake natural fumes in terms of quality, volume, and speed to the point where the latter started to have an impact on the climate.
The remaining 30% of water is collected in rivers, and as it flows through their channels, it not only replenishes the seas and oceans but also forms the critical link in the hydrological cycle of water, which is essential to technological progress on earth. Mineral and organic materials are dissolved from the coastal soil layers, and the biota are supplied with these materials. All living things that are growing, including plants, require them. Because regular contact with fresh soil layers is necessary for water circulation, rivers constantly meander and erode their banks. The soil fragments that have been washed away from the beach roll down the bottom, come into contact with the currents, and gradually release soluble compounds. They then enclose other layers of soil components, interact with them, and produce new products that are eventually released into the water. There are so ongoing and gradual chemical changes, rapid river flow, bank erosion, and water mineralization.
Water has changed from being a raw material to a tool for the "master in the workshop" to a competitor in the race to claim a spot in the sun with the arrival of man and the growth of industry and urbanisation. We started putting water in reservoirs, flushing out utilities, miscellaneous rubbish, and agricultural and industrial waste into rivers so we could get water for all of our purposes. We extract up to 10% of the global river flow from both above- and below-ground sources [1-5].
Our varied techniques A multiyear study showed how the river environment is used for a variety of daily tasks and leisure pursuits, and that there is a distinct contextual and dynamic relationship between the inhabitants, tourists, and the river. While dealing with a changing river environment remains highly flexible at macro (societal) scales and longer time horizons, at the individual and place (spatio-temporal event) scale, the relationship to the river environment could change significantly with each event, mediation, or direct intervention. The context of prior use and mobilities must be taken into consideration when interpreting current use. From the outside, it may appear that the way in which the river environment is used is relatively predictable and tidy, although each location has a broad range of users and a chaotic use of space and time. The COVID-19 partial shutdown in Norway serves as an example of how quickly human rhythms may alter. We urge greater study that can take into account how people and the environment interact relationally, spatially, and dynamically. We believe that a fuller comprehension of this intricate interaction will lead to important insights into the prevalent value classifications (static, quantifiable, and mutually exclusive categories) that restrict harmonious river ecosystem planning and management.
