Full textThe knowledge of hydrological and hydrochemical dynamics is essential for policy makers to develop appropriate policies of remediation, but this goal is hard to achieve in « ungauged catchments ». Through the inversion of a geomorphology-based hydrological modelling, the net rainfall entering the stream network is assessed from a gauged catchment. This net rainfall is scale independant and can be convoluted in another (ungauged) catchment. This method is applied for the first time in a pluvio-nival context on 21 catchments from Québec. Success of the simulation depends of the hydrological similarity between gauged and ungauged catchments, which is defined as the ensemble of caracteristics insuring a close functionning. We test how riverwater chemical composition reveals this similarity through a synoptic spectral analysis developped on western France. Groups of catchments are identified by their spatial homogeneity/heterogeneoty of the hydrochemical facies, and the area at which hydrochemical stabilisation occurs. This result suggest that riverwater chemical composition is informative of a hydrological similarity. This hypothesis is successfully tested on six mesoscale catchments, by transposing hydrographs and concentration discharge relatioships (CQ), best transpositions are associated to similar catchments. Finally, the coupling of hydrological simulation to CQ curves allowed the prediction of hydrochemical fluxes in ungauged catchments with a 15 minutes timestep

Full textThe regularity of the relief of Paracatu Catchment inserted into Atlantic Shield, is preserved in weathering and erosion resistant rocky layers. It is organized in a stratigraphic column wich keeps its original conditions of deposition with recordings of small dimension crustal movements, allowing the ideal theoretical conditions for the study of erosion surfaces. To associate the evolution of geomorphology of Paracatu River Catchment to material and structure, looking for explanations to the preservation of erosion surfaces in the arrangement of sedimentary successions, unconformities and erosive plateaus were the conditions to identify and describe four surfaces wich record the regional morphological evolution: Tabular Plateau Surface, Tabular Plateau Surface with Dissected Valleys, Low Tableland with Ravined Pedments and Dissected Valleys Surface, and Paracatu River Fluvial Plain Depression Surface. A broad fieldwork through a general and regional approach, followed by an intense bibliographic review and manipulation of topographic and geologic maps and its manipulation in GIS, through a development of a Digital Terrain Model and many topographic profiles, allowed to describe the relief in suggesting the reconstitution of the geomorphological history of the study area, resulting in an erosion surfaces map. The origin of this erosion surfaces can be correlated to four tectonic cycles, that elevated the Brazilian Platform since the Cretaceous until Pleistocene, with drainage incision and dissection of the landscape.

Full textThe large quantities of sediments transported as suspension in Alpine rivers are associated with important socio-economic and environmental issues such as pollutant transfer, aquatic habitat degradation or dam siltation. To address these issues, it is required to better understand the role of Alpine river beds on the dynamics of this transport. In the first part of this thesis, we use large datasets from the literature and new field measurements to investigate at a regional scale i) the influence of sediment sources configuration on suspended load variability, ii) the quantity and availability of fine particles in Alpine river beds and iii) the relation between suspended load and river bed mobility. These analyses show that the catchment configuration upstream the observation point can significantly control the suspended load dynamics observed downstream. This first part also shows that large quantities of fine particles can be stored in alluvial Alpine rivers. For these rivers and for high flow rates, it was possible to predict a significant part of suspended load based on riverbed mobility modeling. The second part of the thesis tests these results at a local scale. To do so, an important field campaign was performed during the entire melting season of a typical Alpine river, the Séveraisse. A large panel of direct and indirect measurements was used to measure suspended load, bedload and topographic changes on a 3.5-km reach. These measurements confirm that suspended particles strongly interact with the river bed in that kind of morphodynamically active streams. The latter can be considered as an intermediate buffer controlled by the upstream hydro-sedimentary forcing and by the river bed mobility and morphology

This study aims to explore the relationship between channel morphology, channel bed materials and the physiographic parameters of Dahu River catchment. Research materials include 1) cross-section profiles of the valley being abstracted from 1/5000 aerial photos, 2) channel bed gradient, 3) the hardness of rocks measured by Schmidt Hammer, 4) the particle distribution of river bed gravels, 5) physiographical parameters (such as drainage area) of the catchment being deduced from DEM by ArcGIS. The hardness of rocks, being measured by Schmidt Hammer, of geological units are well-correlated with those measurements done by others in literatures. This study leads to the following three conclusions. (1) 29 cross-section profiles are abstracted from 1:5000 topographic map along the main stream, and they are demonstrated by the cumulative area curves calculated along the elevation from the river bed upward. This form of the valley cross-section is mainly determined by its drainage area. (2) The channel bed gradient is mainly influenced by the strata orientation and the rock strength. In accordance with the flow direction and the inclination orientation of the strata formation, three situations can be defined 1) the subsequent type, 2) the vertical type, and 3) the obsequent type. Between them, the channel bed gradient of the obsequent type is highest. The channel bed gradient Only in the west section of the study area, the channel bed gradient shows a significant influence from the impact of the rock hardness. In general, the channel bed gradient is most affected by the geological structure. (3) The relation between the channel bed material and the geological regions is insignificant.
