Drainage Density and Stream Order in a Drainage Basin Drainage Density represents an approach to the quantitative analysis of drainage basin. It is the average length of channel per unit area of the drainage basin. It is calculated as shown below. Drainage density is a qualitative analysis of the areal properties of a river basin . Drainage density is useful as a measure of frequency and spacing of streams within the drainage basin. It also helps to determine the texture of dissection
structures and east-west trending normal fault systems (Hsu and Bernoulli, 1978; Nigro and Renda, 2002). The structural setting had a strong impact on the depositional environments including: shallow-water elongate platforms, seamounts, and deep water basins. The depositional environments at the time were largely influenced by tectonic setting changing multiple times during the Late Jurassic into the Late Cretaceous. Between the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous the regions tectonic setting changed
ABSTRACT What is the water quality in Covington Creek, Soos Creek, Jenkins Creek, Jenkins Pond Creek, and Jenkins Pond? Does the water quality meet or exceed the Washington State water quality criteria? Several parameters were sampled at each sample site. The sampled parameters at each creek and pond site were temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, discharge, bank stability, and vegetation plots. Tests for the presence of nitrates and phosphates were also conducted. In addition to these tests
the Mula river basin. Good surface analysis research should provide the following information: formation of the basin area, formation of the different geomorphic feature, spatial distribution of geomorphic features. In present article, we have used Remote Sensing and G.I.S. tool to examine the formation of the river basin using DEM analysis. Morphotectonic study plays an important role in deciphering the effects of tectonic activity in the geomorphic evolution of the drainage basins, .Morphotectonic
Agriculture is the main facet in Brazil’s economy which makes water their biggest concern. Brazil has three main water basins: Amazons, Tocantins and São Francisco. They also have two other basin systems which comprise many smaller basins. The Amazon River basin is very important; being one of the biggest rivers in the world, its huge output accounts for over half of Brazil’s “Drainage Basin.” Surface water is not Brazil’s only abundance in water; subsurface water is also widely available in Brazil. Even
Nations, there are 276 international rivers shared by two or more countries and 200 identified transboundary aquifers (UNESCO, 2013). Transboundary river basins cover 50% of Earth’s surface (excluding Antarctica) and channels 60% of global streamflow (Biswas, 1999). Some 40% of the world’s population live within transboundary lake and river basins and two billion people depend on over 300 transboundary aquifer systems (Du and Zhong, 2011). 8.1 TRANSBOUNDARY WATERS AND THE ROLE OF THE STATE Worldwide
changes have affected the Pangani River basin negatively, causing the nearby water source in the basin to become scarce. With the competition for water in the area, the nation is prone to conflict and violence. Since the problem in Tanzania is an equal combination of a declining economy, unfair distribution methods in society, and sudden climate changes, it is important to effectively control and distribute the resources among the people. The Pangani Basin Water Board believes that the main cause
Japanese garden elements are the main parts for its decoration and beauty. Every style of art has their elements of own. A garden of Japan has numerous elements like water, rocks, islands, bridges, ponds, teahouse, lanterns, borrowed scenery and plants. The combination of these elements makes the garden alive. Following are the important elements of Japanese gardens: • Waterfall, bridges and ponds: The pond is also known as ike, is one of the basic elements of Japanese garden. It is the representation
people’s need for enough safe water according to B. Malmberg(2007). Water Management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the use of water resources. The inter basin water transfer can be described as a man made conveyance scheme which moves water from one river basin to another basin where water is less available or could be utilized better for human development. Sweden is a developed country, which is officially the kingdom of Sweden. Sweden is a Scandinavia country in
Lake and Ocean Lifeguards: A Comparison Lake and ocean lifeguards work very similar jobs but have distinct differences. Lifeguards are trained in skills in order to protect and serve the public. The history of lifeguards is quite recent since actual lifeguards have only been around for the past 100 years. Lake and ocean lifeguards have a similar skill set, yet their distinct locations makes a major difference in what is required of them. While lake lifeguards and ocean lifeguards perform many of
realize what 's been done the damage has already been done, it 's irreversible. The Citarum River Basin located in Indonesia has suffered the most. Textile factories located along the coast have dumped toxic waste in the the river causing illnesses and death, we need to clean up the Citarum River. With all this The Citarum River has to return to a place where people feel safe. The Citarum River Basin is home to around thirty-five million people. Most of these people still rely on the the river for
Water quality is an issue the public of Auckland city reflect on during the summer time. Human and natural factors can contribute to creating a potential health risk for people who are considered to be in primary contact with the water. Primary contact is when an individual has direct contact with the water and can submerge themselves; examples include, swimming, surfing or water sports. Human activity such as agriculture run-off, storm water or sewage discharge can result in a rise in microbiological
League baseball fields (we called it the sandpit); Northland Pool, and the adjacent water basin with the big painted rock titling rakishly at the far end of the field. The basin is now a soccer field, where I saw several coaches running young girls through various kicking drills. Some of the balls bounced into the concrete culvert which cuts through the center of the field and connects with a smallish drainage pipe—that pipe running under Bryant Drive and into a brook that flows past my boyhood home
(specifically the water's salinity and alkalinity) and biological life that survives there. Mono Lake is a hypersaline, highly alkaline, hydrographically closed basin in which the only natural means of water export is through evaporation. The basin itself was carved out by faulting of tectonic plates that occurred atleast 500,000 years ago. Mono Basin contains up to 7,000 ft. of glacial, fluvial, lacustrine and volcanic deposits in a large structural depression formed in part by down-dropping along the
industries, transportation, and hydroelectric power generation. Canada has four principal drainage basins: the Atlantic Basin which drains to the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River, the Hudson Bay Basin which drains northward into Hudson Bay via the Churchill, Nelson and Saskatchewan rivers, the Arctic Basin which is drained by the Mackenzie River and the Pacific Basin which drains into the Pacific Ocean via the Fraser, Yukon and Columbia rivers. Canada has

a road drainage design manual in 2002 under a credit from the International Development Agency (IDA). This technical note has been prepared for Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA) as a result of a brief review of the above manual published in 2002. The brief received from ERA required me to review the drainage design manual referred above and make comments and recommendations if any. In preparing this technical note, I have read the ERA drainage design manual-and various road drainage design
MICHAEL CAIN Michael Cain is an attorney for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and he came to talk to us about the evolution of the public trust doctrine in Wisconsin dealing with navigable water and current development issues related to the public trust. The doctrine states that a sizable body of common law has developed which holds that all navigable waters are held in trust by the state for the public and through the DNR Department of Justice and District Attorneys they

Homelessness in America Here in Tahoe, we are lucky enough to experience a great quality of life, and only a few have to face the horrible life of poverty and homelessness. However, nationwide, even right outside the basin, homelessness is a growing epidemic across the country. There are many ways one can become homeless; for the most part poverty. There are also different concentrations of homeless in different types of terrain, such as urban or suburban areas. Last, there is the ever- growing
