This chapter introduces the study’s context and objectives.

The chapter frames key research questions on how climate and human interferences alter basin runoff and affect downstream delta systems. It outlines the study’s scope, objectives, and methods (trend analysis, modeling, etc.) and previews the book’s structure.
