This article concentrates on the distribution, drainage patterns, and geometry of river systems; its coverage of the latter includes a discussion of channel patterns and such related features as waterfalls. Considerable attention is also given to fluvial landforms and to the processes involved in their...
These patterns are also evident in the recent archaeological record, but it is unclear how far they can be safely projected back. Contrary to the popular view that the hunter-gatherer way of life was impoverished and brutish, Late Stone Age people were highly skilled and had a good deal of...
GUANGZHOU, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Human effects on climate have caused a reduction of river flow seasonality, particularly at high northern latitudes, according to a study published on Friday in the journal Science. River flow patterns vary with the seasons and this plays a critical role in flood...
The Beijiang River reported its second flood of the year on Saturday evening, according to the ministry. It said it would enhance the analysis of weather patterns, strengthen forecasting and refine prevention measures accordingly. ■NewsChinaBizCulture&LifestyleWorldSportsIn-depth RegionsAsia&PacificEur...
Dams have reshaped these patterns. By 1920, the impact of human development on river connectivity is already clear (Fig. 4b). The East Coast became heavily fragmented as did the lower Mississippi and parts of the High Plains. Fragmentation increased over time, especially in the period from 195...
ENSO modulates flood timings in Africa1, interannual variability of flow in the Ganges, the Amazon, and the Congo rivers2,3, and has significant influences on regional climate and hydrologic patterns around the globe. A predictive understanding of ENSO is thus of economic and societal importance....

The rainfall patterns in the Orange basin have a direct effect on the river’s rate of flow. In Lesotho, above the confluence with the Caledon, the rainfall averages 28 to 32 inches (700 to 800 millimetres) annually; and, combined with the melted winter snows of the highland areas, this...
The 19th century, pre-regulation river courses of three rivers are used to study a postu-lated sinuosity response to faulting. The fault-perpendicular Meuse River shows patterns of sinuosity changes atdifferent spatial scales. The large-scale (>5 km) sinuosity changes are related mainly to the ...
