introduction the khoshk river is originated from golestan and ghalat highlands and flow in a northwest and southeast direction. after traversing a short distance it covers golestan and dukohak from the right and the ghasr ghomshe tributary from the left. then, in a direct cross from the middle of shiraz metro police, it will divide it into half in south and east and at the end it will pour into...

The object of this paper is to analyse the sedimentologic characteristics of old and new terrace sediments from the Pawmpawm River channel. The morphometric characteristics of the terrace materials give credence to the hydrologic dynamics of the river as it performs its core functions of erosion, transportation and deposition with time. The terrace materials are evidenced from their petrographi...

The paper contains data about the destructive effects of gully erosion on the environment. It provides general information about the gully erosion in several countries around the world including Romania and is considered a case study for a river basin located in the Semenic Mountains (Bârzava drainage area). The case study is based on the following assumptions: the presence of different types o...

Erosion of the river banks in India have become recurrent event causing enormous problem for the people and the Government. With the increase of population along the bank of the rivers, the erosion of township, cluster of villages and important communication system, govt. resources are over exploited. Presently a large number of township, villages, human dwellings a number of important installa...

Sediment and phosphorus (P) transport from the Minnesota River Basin to Lake Pepin on the upper Mississippi River has garnered much attention in recent years. However, there is lack of data on the extent of sediment and P contributions from riverbanks vis-à-vis uplands and ravines. Using two light detection and ranging (lidar) data sets taken in 2005 and 2009, a study was undertaken to quantify...

riparian vegetation is a component of river system that performs certain basic functions including primary vegetative production, protecting stream banks from erosion, trapping sediments, promoting water quality, wildlife habitat and fisheris, forage for livestock, etc. in this research, spatio-temporal change of vegetation riparian area of aghbolagh-river as an upstream of karoon-river for 65-...

Soil erosion is the main pathway of nutrients to fresh water in highly erodible regions. In this study, a dynamic erosion-type nonpoint source (NPS) pollution model was proposed to investigate spatiotemporal characteristics of adsorbed NPS total nitrogen (TN) load before and after returning farmland. Results indicate that: 1) the erosion-type NPS TN load showed a significant decreasing trend si...
