Résumé :
|
Drawing on chapters from the two volumes of the rivers handbook, this book presents the fundamental physical principles for understanding river systems. the first part focuses on hydrological processes within headwater catchments and moves on to consider flow variations within large rivers and the modelling of these processes within a single river system. later chapters examine the fundamental controls on water quality variation and consider how flows and sediments interact to produce the range of channel forms that characterize different rivers. the book concludes with an examination of the potential impacts of future climate change on hydrological processes.
