in present study effects of riparian vegetation on morphometric and morphological changes have been investigated in a part of talar river during 58 years. so land use maps produced for 1955 and 2013 by aerial photos. results show during study time riparian vegetation changed extremely and approximately 96% of riparian vegetation removed during 58 years. in additionally, results showed during st...

the offered approach is based on the establishment of the functional dependence between river water discharge (q) and suspended ms ,in a number of observations, which noticeably differs from the mean value (r) of subsequent allocated period(s). the earliest period anthropogenic component during the subsequent period(s) is the difference between an actual suspended sediment yield and its hypothe...

Purpose: to generalize the current experience in development of a design stepped spur, tested by past floods on rivers Buffeljags, Duiwenhoks and Hex Western Cape province Republic South Africa, propose protective structure against debris loading (carchehod), which is aimed at unhindered water flow movement capture all drifting trees their parts. Materials methods. Numerous bank protection stru...

In an actively deforming orogen, maintenance of a topographic steady state requires that hillslope erosion, river incision, and rock uplift rates are balanced over timescales of 10–10 years. Over shorter times, < 10 years, hillslope erosion and bedrock river incision rates fluctuate with changes in climate. On 10-year timescales, the Marsyandi River in the central Nepal Himalaya has oscillated ...

Alluvial soils are reservoirs of metal contaminants such as Pb that originate from many different sources and are integrated temporally and spatially through erosional and depositional processes. In this study the source, lability and solubility of Pb were examined in a range of alluvial soils from the middle and lower River Trent and its tributary the River Dove using Pb isotope apportionment ...

Submitted to the Texas Water Development Board 2 PREFACE This report is submitted in fulfillment of contract no. 2005-483-564 between the Texas Water Development Board and Jonathan Phillips (doing business as Copperhead Road Geoscience). The report is presented in two more-or-less independent parts, reflecting the Scope of Work for the project. The first is a review and evaluation of geomorphic...
