Renaturalization of River Valley on the Example of the Chambal River, India

dc.abstract.en	This thesis explores the renaturalization of river valleys through a focused case study of the Chambal River in India. The primary objective is to evaluate the potential of ecological restoration in reviving the natural integrity of degraded river systems. Emphasizing environmental, socio-economic, and policy dimensions, the study explores the key motivations behind initiating renaturalization efforts, particularly within the Indian context. A quantitative research methodology was employed, drawing from secondary data sources such as peer-reviewed articles and policy reports. The analysis focused on specific environmental indicators including species richness, water quality, riparian vegetation recovery, sediment balance, floodplain connectivity, groundwater recharge, and biodiversity indices. The research provides measurable insights into the effectiveness of river valley renaturalization and underscores its potential as a sustainable environmental strategy. By centring on the Chambal River, the thesis contributes to the broader discourse on ecological restoration in semi-arid regions and offers evidence-based recommendations for future river management and conservation initiatives in India.
