The extensive development of surface and subsurface drainage systems to facilitate
agricultural production throughout North America has significantly altered the hydrology of …

There is an increasing demand for tools to assist in the management of environmental flows
in rivers. Changes in river discharge act on biota through a hydraulic template, which is …

Geomorphic units are the elementary spatial physical features of the river mosaic at the
reach scale that are nested within the overall hydromorphological structure of a river and its …

The physical component of river channel (instream) habitat is of acknowledged significance,
particularly in headwater streams; furthermore, physical habitats have been heavily …

Most of the world's rivers are affected by dams and weirs. Information on the quantitative and
qualitative effects of weirs across biological communities is crucial for successful …

River Channel Management is the first book to deal comprehensively with recent revolutions
in river channel management. It explores the multi-disciplinary nature of river channel …

Airborne LiDAR Bathymetry (ALB) has been rapidly evolving in recent years and now allows
fluvial topography to be mapped in high resolution (> 20 points/m2) and height accuracy (< …

RivWidth is an implementation in ITT Visual Information Solutions IDL of a new algorithm
that automates the calculation of river widths using raster-based classifications of inundation …

This paper establishes the link between 'functional habitats'(biologically defined habitat
units) and flow 'biotopes'(hydraulically defined habitat units) using Froude number. Froude …

Methods to assess the physical habitat available to aquatic organisms provide important
tools for many aspects of river management, including river health monitoring, determination …
