Stonecats (Noturus flavus, Rafinesque 1818) are designated as a Vermont statelisted endangered species because their known distribution is limited to two systems, the LaPlatte and Missisquoi rivers. The restricted distribution and lack of knowledge on abundance in either river is cause for concern in the continued survival of these populations. Based on the capture numbers and large size range ...

[1] Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio-deltaic morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the river-to-marine boundary is poorly understood. Coastal rivers typically are affected by backwater, a zone of spatially decelerating flow that is transitional between normal flow upstream and the offshore river plume. Flow dece...

The flood governance of Huaihe River has a long history. Especially after the establishment of New China, the state has invested huge funds in water conservancy projects, but the problem of Huaihe River flood has not been fundamentally solved. On the basis of previous studies, the reasons for the Huaihe River flood, among which the root causes of the Huaihe River floods are the poor access of t...

Abstract: Our knowledge of the spatio-temporal variation of river hydrological parameters is surprisingly poor. In situ gauge stations are limited in spatial and temporal coverage, and their number has been decreasing during the past decades. On the other hand, remote sensing techniques have proven their ability to measure different parameters within the Earth system. Satellite imagery, for ins...

The influence of the most representative winter patterns of atmospheric variation in the Northern Hemisphere on precipitation variability and on river flow regimes was evaluated for the Miño River basin (NW Iberian Peninsula). The Arctic Oscillation (AO) was also considered in order to analyze the effect of a larger-scale atmospheric mode on precipitation and river flow. Precipitation data were...

abstract morphological river models are designed to provide physical insight into the morphological response and to assist river engineers and managers in the design, operation and maintenance of river systems. here deterministic modeling weak for a dynamic and stochastic of nature river environment. specially, these could not predict the exact shape of the river bed, specially e.g. for braided...

The Rio Bogotá (Bogota River) descends 370 km through the plain of Bogotá from an altitude of 3400 m above sea level in Villapinzón before it discharges into the Magdalena River at 280 m above sea level (Bravo et al., 1999). The upper river is relatively small and shallow with a limited gradient until, halfway along its route; it passes Bogotá, not only Colombia’s Capital City but also an impor...

Where rivers enter the coastal zone, gradually varying non-uniform flow conditions develop in the channel. This section of the river is referred to as the backwater segment, and for large rivers, backwater flow extends many hundreds of kilometres upstream of the river outlet. Studies from the Mississippi River document a persistent backwater zone that influences sediment mobility throughout the...

The Haw River, a high order river in the southeastern United States, is characterized by severe bank erosion and geomorphic change from historical conditions of clear waters and connected floodplains. In 2014 it was named one of the 10 most threatened rivers in the United States by American Rivers. Like many developed areas, the region has a history of disturbance including extensive upland soi...
