technical and legal parameters for determination of river boundary,( case study haraz river)

چکیده با توسعه شهر نشینی و دخل و تصرف غیر مجاز در حریم رودخانه ها خسارات زیادی به رودخانه و محیط زیست اطراف آن وارده می شود. در حال حاضر بر اساس آئین نامه اصلاح شده بستر و حریم رودخانه ها، حریم کمی رودخانه که بلافاصله پس از بستر قرار می گیرد از 1 تا20 متر از منتهی الیه طرفین بستر رودخانه تعیین، که مقدار دقیق آن در هر بازه از رودخانه مشخص نیست. در کشورهای دیگر روشهای متفاوتی من جمله: درصد ریسک...

The River Wave Concept: Integrating River Ecosystem Models

We introduce the river wave concept: a simple, holistic model that unifies river ecosystem concepts. The river wave concept proposes that river flow can be conceptualized as a series of waves varying in shape, amplitude, wavelength, and frequency, traveling longitudinally and laterally; the position on the wave determines the source of organic production or inputs and the storage, transformatio...

River Ecosystem Response to Prescribed Vegetation Burning on Blanket peatland

Catchment-scale land-use change is recognised as a major threat to aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning globally. In the UK uplands rotational vegetation burning is practised widely to boost production of recreational game birds, and while some recent studies have suggested burning can alter river water quality there has been minimal attention paid to effects on aquatic biota. We stud...

Quantifying the efficiency of river regulation

Dam-affected hydrologic time series give rise to uncertainties when they are used for calibrating large-scale hydrologic models or for analysing runoff records. It is therefore necessary to identify and to quantify the impact of impoundments on runoff time series. Two different approaches were employed. The first, classic approach compares the volume of the dams that are located upstream from a...
