Catchment Dynamics and River Processes: Mediterranean and by Celso Garcia and Ramon J. Batalla (Eds.)

By Celso Garcia and Ramon J. Batalla (Eds.)

Maria Sala brought experimental and field-based reviews on soil and fluvial techniques in Spain in the course of the overdue Nineteen Seventies and early Nineteen Eighties. examine in this extensive subject has grown remarkably world wide considering the fact that then. This name indicates a few of these advances and records the most recent learn, even supposing with a particularity: it provides specified remedy to investigate on Mediterranean weather areas, an ever-present factor in Maria Sala's study profession. It includes the most recent learn on slope and river methods with a different emphasis on rivers and catchments with a Mediterranean weather. Papers disguise a gamut of subject matters describing examine and utilized reviews, frequently in Spain, but in addition in Israel, the us, Canada, the united kingdom and New Zealand. The ebook examines typical and anthropogenic strategies working in drainage basins and comprises assurance of present experimental and fieldwork investigations on soil erosion, river and catchment hydrology, suspended sediment shipping and bedload dynamics in gravel-bed rivers, and present-day analysis and destiny key-paths for catchment and river administration. * Examines the average and anthropogenic methods working in drainage basins and river channels, and covers present investigations on procedure Geomorphology and Catchment Hydrology, together with administration matters* themes lined comprise soil erosion, catchment hydrology, suspended sediment shipping, bedload dynamics in gravel-bed rivers, and sediment yield* Emphasis is at the Mediterranean area

In the Cal Rodo´ catchment, the analysis of data from the piezometric network (Latron, 2003) has shown that the correlation between water-table depths measured at different points throughout the catchment is relatively good during wet and dry periods, but decreases during transition periods. The relationship between water table and baseflow from one side and the extension of saturated areas from the other has been analysed during different wetness conditions (Latron and Gallart, 2002; Latron, 2003).
