Prediction of stream channel location from drainage basin boundaries
Common methods of extracting representations of drainage networks from raster digital elevation models for hydrological and geomorphological applications are similar to a class of image processing methods known as grayscale watershed algorithms. These algorithms partition a field of scalar values …

An 828 Year Streamflow Reconstruction for the Jordan River Drainage Basin of Northern Utah
… variability of streamflow in the Jordan River Drainage Basin over the last 828 years. A GIS model was used to identify potential sampling sites where tree growth would be sensitive to climate and factors affecting stream run-off. Over eighty samples from ancient limber pine (Pinus flexilis) and …

Using conceptual modeling to advance an integrated watershed management approach in the Aishihik drainage basin
… water management approach in the Aishihik Drainage Basin. Ideas from Integrated Watershed Management appear to be well suited to the regional context but additional tools are needed to synthesize data from two distinct systems: western scientific methods and traditional knowledge. This …

Planning of Open Space Using Physical Geographical Features in the South Dry Sac Drainage Basin
… the planning of open space in the South Dry Sac drainage basin, by distinguishing land sensitive to development through analyzing the physical geographical features of present land use, percent of slope, floodplain, karst, water contamination hazard, soils, and unique geologic features. Four …

Geology, surface hydrology, and fish habitat relationships in the upper Shavers Fork drainage basin, West Virginia
Shavers Fork is the mainstem stream of a unique upper elevation watershed located in the Appalachian Plateaus province of West Virginia. Surficial "facies" mapping of in-stream and floodplain-adjacent landforms helped to classify small-scale flow patterns into heterogeneous and homogeneous channel …

Water Quality and Urbanization: a Multitemporal Study of the Pierson Creek Drainage Basin, Greene County, Missouri
… of urban development in the Pierson Creek drainage basin during teh 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s were examined in this study. To accomplish this, building locations, areas served by centralized wastewater treatment, areas of increased risk for water pollution, and water quality test sites were …

A Biogeographic Inventory and Water Quality Analysis of the Upper Drainage Basin of the Meramec River, Missouri
… concerns a physical inventory of the Upper Drainage Basin of the Meramec River. The inventory was completed in three parts: a biogeographic inventory, which is the relationships between soil, plant, bedrock, flora, and fauna of a given area; land use classification of the study area; and a …

A model to define hydrologic response units based on characteristics of the soil-vegetative complex within a drainage basin
A procedure was developed to subdivide a drainage area into units that respond similarly. These were defined hydrologic response units and were a funtion of soil texture, soil depth, land use, and hydrology group classification. A computer model was developed to generate excess precipitation for …

Sedimentology of historic and prehistoric deposits in the drainage basin of Deep River and Muddy Creek on the Piedmont of North Carolina
Deep River and Muddy Creek flow across a granitic and volcanic terrain intruded by diabase dikes in the Piedmont physiographic province of central North Carolina. Geoarchaeological and sedimentological investigation of these Piedmont streams included fourteen trenches dug at four floodplain …

Annual Erosion of a Small Watershed in the North Dakota Badlands; USA
… of sediment transport was monitored in a small drainage basin near the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota. Soil traps, erosion pins, painted pebble lines, and aluminum markers were placed throughout the valley to monitor seasonal sediment transport. Once the …

A Study of Geomorphologic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph
… to represent the hydrologic response of a drainage basin. The geomorphologic structure of a drainage basin is constructed according to Strahler's stream ordering system. The effective rainfall is transformed to direct runoff by using the geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph which is …
