Group 1 consisted of six rivers with lowest drainage densities (0.30–1.39 streams/km main channel). All were coastal rivers of peninsular Florida and, with one exception, drain to the Gulf of Mexico. Seven of eight rivers (group 2) with intermediate drainage densities (1.77–3.04 streams/km...

Types of Wetlands - There are several different types of wetlands, including marshes, swamps, bogs and fens. Learn more about the different types of wetlands.
Topographic mapare similar to physical maps in that they represent the physical characteristics of a location. Differences in height and changes in the terrain are depicted on topographic maps using contour lines rather than colors. They also show lakes, rivers, and streams. Topographic maps are he...
The description was based on a visual estimation over the length of the surveyed stream reach (75 m) using diagrams from the Rapid Bioassessment Methodology for Rivers and Streams (EPA, 2003) as guides. Tracer addition To improve discrimination of aquatic and terrestrial prey according to their ...
Deranged drainage pattern,also known as disorganized drainage orchaotic drainage, is a hydrological feature characterized by the absence of a well-defined, organized network of rivers and streams. The configuration of streams in deranged drainage is heavily influenced by local topography. Factors like ...
Wetlands along the edges of rivers and streams are riverine or riparian systems, and wetlands along the edges of lakes are lacustrine systems. Upland wetlands not connected to rivers or lakes are palustrine wetlands. Water supply, and consequently, vegetation and soils vary for each of the ...
The Ocellated pufferfish is one of the rarer breeds available. This captivity-bred fish now occupies freshwater and brackish rivers and streams of South Asia, and the males will guard their mates’ eggs fiercely. They’re more peaceful than many other kinds and like to be kept in pairs. You...
People love to see this turtle, especially because they are good swimmers. Their swimming ability is coming from the turtle habitat in which they love to live in large streams, lakes, and rivers. That’s why you have to prepare a large aquarium so they can swim comfortably. An adult male...
Bank-side reservoirsare created by redirecting the water from nearby rivers or streams into an existing reservoir. An example of this type of reservoir is the River Thames in London. Another type of reservoir is fully man-made, calledservice reservoirs. These reservoirs are placed in concrete ba...
