The Bolivian Andes flank one of Earth’s major topographic features and dominate sediment input into the Amazon Basin. Millennial-scale erosion rates and dominant controls on erosion patterns in this range are poorly known. To define these patterns, we present 48 erosion rate estimates, derived from analysis of in situ Be in quartz-bearing alluvium collected from the Upper Beni River basin. Eros...

Long-term streamflow data are vital for analysis of hydrological droughts. Using an artificial neural network (ANN) model and nine tree-ring indices, this study reconstructed the annual streamflow of the Sacramento River for the period from 1560 to 1871. Using the reconstructed streamflow data, the copula method was used for bivariate drought analysis, deriving a hydrological drought return per...

Despite obvious limitations, such simple indices can reveal important features of streamflow and how they compare with those of other streams in the same basin. These simple indices can also give clues regarding the timing of historic, momentous events, such as the abrupt decrease of the monthly maximum flow in the Little Red River record (1%1) shown in Figure 1 with records of other selected s...

Sediment management nowadays is often concerned around sediments that have been polluted in former times, posing the following questions: what risks remain after time has passed concerning the persistence, ageing and bioavailability of the polluting substances; where does the risk apply regarding the transport of contaminated sediments and the management objectives in the different zones of a r...

Phosphorus loss from bank erosion was studied in the catchment of River Odense, a lowland Danish river basin, with the aim of testing the hypothesis of whether stream banks act as major diffuse phosphorus (P) sources at catchment scale. Furthermore, the study aimed at analyzing the impact of different factors influencing bank erosion and P loss such as stream order, anthropogenic disturbances, ...

In this study, a novel least square support vector machine (LSSVM) model integrated with gradient-based optimizer (GBO) algorithm is introduced for the assessment of water quality (WQ) parameters. For purpose, three stations, including Ahvaz, Armand, and Gotvand in Karun river basin, have been selected to electrical conductivity (EC) total dissolved solids (TDS). First, prove superiority LSSVM-...

—In response to a petition to list Great Basin redband trout (subspecies of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss) as threatened or endangered, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted a status review in 1998. To support that review, we conducted a survey of the abundances of redband trout in each of six subbasins of the Great Basin that included the states of Oregon, California, and Nevada. We...

Hydrological components in a river basin can get adversely affected by climate change in coming future. Manipur River basin lies in the extreme northeast region of India nestled in the lesser Himalayan ranges and it is under severe pressure from anthropogenic and natural factors. Basin is un-gauged as it lies in remote location and suffering from large data scarcity. This paper explores the imp...
