Abstract:
A distributed-framework basin modeling system (DFBMS) was developed to simulate the runoff generation and movement on a basin scale. This study is part of a series of papers on DFBMS that focuses on the hydraulic calculation methods in runoff concentration on underlying surfaces and flow movement in river networks and lakes. This paper introduces the distributed-framework river modeling system (DF-RMS) that is a professional modeling system for hydraulic modeling. The DF-RMS contains different hydrological feature units (HFUs) to simulate the runoff movement through a system of rivers, storage units, lakes, and hydraulic structures. The river network simulations were categorized into different types, including one-dimensional river branch, dendritic river network, loop river network, and intersecting river network. The DF-RMS was applied to the middle and downstream portions of the Huai River Plain in China using different HFUs for river networks and lakes. The simulation results showed great consistency with the observed data, which proves that DF-RMS is a reliable system to simulate the flow movement in river networks and lakes.

Abstract:
Olvios, Rethis and Inachos Rivers are multistory drainage systems that occur in Northern Peloponnesus, and at the present day they have and a reversed, North to South, flow element. Dervenios, Skoupeikos and Fonissa Rivers are the misfit streams of Olvios and revealed as juvenile streams and discharge to the Corinth gulf. Agiorgitikos River is the misfit stream of Rethis River and Seliandros River is the juvenile stream. Asopos, Nemeas and Rachiani Rives are the misfit streams of Inachos River and they also discharge to the Corinth gulf. Asopos River characterized as re-established stream. Physical factors such as tectonic regime (active and inactive faults), lithology, erosion and distance from the source influenced the three drainage systems evolution and could be influence them also in the future. The increase of human activities both in their southern parts and in the distal parts close to the coast could be change the physical evolution of the studied drainages, producing a new wind gap in the coastal area and a lake or a lagoon backwards of the coastal area, destroying villages and towns.

Abstract:
Fluvial sediments of the Siwalik successions in the Himalayan Foreland Basin are one of the most important continental archives for the history of Himalayan tectonics and climate change during the Miocene Period. This study reanalyzes the fluvial facies of the Siwalik Group along the Karnali River, where the large paleo-Karnali River system is presumed to have flowed. The reinterpreted fluvial system comprises fine-grained meandering river (FA1), flood-flow dominated meandering river with intermittent appearance of braided rivers (FA2), deep and shallow sandy braided rivers (FA3, FA4) to gravelly braided river (FA5) and finally debris-flow dominated braided river (FA6) facies associations, in ascending order. Previous work identified sandy flood-flow dominated meandering and anastomosed systems, but this study reinterprets these systems as a flood-flow dominated meandering river system with intermittent appearance of braided rivers, and a shallow sandy braided system, respectively. The order of the appearance of fluvial depositional systems in the Karnali River section is similar to those of other Siwalik sections, but the timing of the fluvial facies changes differs. The earlier appearance (3-4 Ma) of the flood-flow dominated meandering river system in the Karnali River section at about 13.5 Ma may have been due to early uplift of the larger catchment size of the paleo-Karnali River which may have changed the precipitation pattern i.e. intensification of the Indian Summer Monsoon. The change from a meandering river system to a braided river system is also recorded 1 to 3 Ma earlier than in other Siwalik sections in Nepal. Differential and diachronous activities of the thrust systems could be linked to change in catchment area as well as diachronous uplift and climate, the combination of which are major probable causes of this diachronity.

Abstract:
Stream structure is usually dominated by various human activities over a short term. An analysis of variation in stream structure from 1979 to 2009 in the Qinhuai River Basin, China, was performed based on remote sensing images and topographic maps by using ArcGIS. A series of river parameters derived from river geomorphology are listed to describe the status of river structure in the past and present. Results showed that urbanization caused a huge increase in the impervious area. The number of rivers in the study area has decreased and length of rivers has shortened. Over the 30 years, there was a 41.03% decrease in river length. Complexity and stability of streams have also changed and consequently the storage capacities of river channels in intensively urbanized areas are much lower than in moderately urbanized areas, indicating a greater risk of floods. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the urban disturbance to rivers.

Abstract:
Accurate and reliable estimates of water levels are essential to assess flood risk in river systems. In current practice, uncertainties involved and the sensitivity of water levels to these uncertainties are studied in single-branch rivers, while many rivers in deltas consist of multiple distributaries. In a bifurcating river, a feedback mechanism exists between the downstream water levels and the discharge distribution at the bifurcation. This paper aims to quantify the sensitivity of water levels to main channel roughness in a bifurcating river system. Water levels are modelled for various roughness scenarios under a wide range of discharge conditions using a one-dimensional hydraulic model. The results show that the feedback mechanism reduces the sensitivity of water levels to local changes of roughness in comparison to the single-branch river. However, in the smaller branches of the system, water-level variations induced by the changes in discharge distribution can exceed the water-level variations of the single-branch river. Therefore, water levels throughout the entire system are dominated by the conditions in the largest branch. As the feedback mechanism is important, the river system should be considered as one interconnected system in river maintenance of rivers, flood-risk analyses, and future planning of river engineering works.

Abstract:
This paper describes the first steps in gathering biological data to assess the conservation value of rivers in Serbia, using SERCON (System for Evaluating Rivers for Conservation). SERCON was developed in the UK to improve consistency in assessments of river ?quality? by using a scoring system to evaluate habitat features and species groups, catchment characteristics, and the potential impacts to which river systems may be subjected. This paper provides checklists for aquatic, semiaquatic and marginal plants, macroinvertebrates, fish and birds associated with rivers in Serbia, collated from a wide range of published and unpublished sources. These lists should be regarded as provisional because few wide-ranging biological surveys have been carried out specifically on Serbian rivers; further revisions are likely as more information becomes available in future. Ultimately, the work will benefit regulators and decision-makers with responsibility for river management under the new Water Law, and contribute to river protection and conservation in Serbia.

Abstract:
Continental aquatic systems from rivers to the coastal zone are considered within two perspectives: (i) as a major link between the atmosphere, pedosphere, biosphere and oceans within the Earth system with its Holocene dynamics, and (ii) as water and aquatic biota resources progressively used and transformed by humans. Human pressures have now reached a state where the continental aquatic systems can no longer be considered as being controlled by only Earth system processes, thus defining a new era, the Anthropocene. Riverine changes, now observed at the global scale, are described through a first set of syndromes (flood regulation, fragmentation, sediment imbalance, neo–arheism, salinization, chemical contamination, acidification, eutrophication and microbial contamination) with their related causes and symptoms. These syndromes have direct influences on water uses, either positive or negative. They also modify some Earth system key functions such as sediment, water, nutrient and carbon balances, greenhouse gas emissions and aquatic biodiversity. Evolution of river syndromes over the past 2000 years is complex: it depends upon the stages of regional human development and on natural conditions, as illustrated here for the chemical contamination syndrome. River damming, eutrophication and generalized decrease of river flow due to irrigation are some of the other global features of river changes. Future management of river systems should also consider these long–term impacts on the Earth system.

Abstract:
Wuxi City is located in the hinterland of Taihu Basin and an important city in Yangtze River Delta Region with a prosperous economy. In the process of urban development, the river system pattern changes a lot. It has an impact on water environment, water ecology and other fields. The central urban area of Wuxi City was selected as the study area. Based on the river system of three periods: 1960s, 1980s and 2009, the rivers were classified into three levels according to the width of channels. The length, acreage and stream structure parameters were calculated. Then from the view of Graph Theory, river system was expressed as network graph, and the vertices, edges and degree of vertices were analyzed. The results show that the changes of rivers of different levels and lakes are not completely the same, but still appear a decreasing trend in general. The river network density and water surface ratio become smaller. Also the complexity and structure stability of river network weaken. The conclusions that the river evolution tends to be trunk and single, the stream structure is simplified and the connectivity of rivers and lakes reduces are verified by the analysis based on Graph Theory as well.

Abstract:
Ujung Pacu River is one of the rivers found in North Aceh Regency which is often used by surrounding communities such as for industrial, agricultural, residential and aquaculture activities that can affect river water quality. This study aimed to determine the water physical and chemical parameters in the Ujung Pacu River for aquaculture activities. The research method used was a survey method by determining the sampling station based on community activities around the river. The study consisted of 4 stations with 3 sampling points at each station. Data of water physical and chemical parameters were compared with water quality standards and analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach. The results showed that the range of water quality values were various in each stations. Ujung Pacu River is influenced by daily tide fluctuations. The highest water quality fluctuations occur in salinity, turbidity and depth. The pollution index in the Ujung Pacu river is included to criteria of Lightly polluted rivers with range 1.8545 - 4.4979. The Ujung Pacu River is unsuitable for aquaculture systems using floating net cages system in river bodies. Keywords: Ujung Pacu River, water quality, pollution index

Abstract:
Abstract. The hydrologic coding of a dendritic river system can be used to indicate the stream order and spatial-structure features of a river system. However, most conventional hydrologic coding systems use a top down (i.e., from the source to the estuary) approach, which does not accurately reflect the hierarchies of a dendritic river system. Based on Gravelius’ definition of stream order, we have proposed an automated bottom up (i.e., traced from the estuary to the source) coding system for dendritic river systems. Firstly, directed topology trees are constructed to organize the data of a river network, followed by the calculation of stroke connections to construct river entities and identify the main stem. Secondly, the river system is then progressively coded from the estuary up to the source according to the definition of stream order in our system. Finally, actual topographic map data of a river system in some regions of Hubei Province are used to comparatively validate our hydrologic coding system against Horton’s coding system. The experimental results demonstrate that our coding system is very effective in highlighting hierarchies formed by catchment relationships. Our method is also found to be suitable for the selection of streams in topologically shallow dendritic river systems with uniformly distributed tributaries.

Full text
Abstract:
Restoring river-floodplain connectivity has been proposed as an alternative management measure for natural flood defence through the temporary storage of floodwaters and the attenuation of flood peaks downstream. Whilst several studies have documented the associated ecological and landscape amenity values of such hydrological measures, the water quality benefits to the adjacent water bodies have been inadequately studied. To date, the focus of scientific research and natural resource management has been on the role of riparian buffer zones for the alleviation of agricultural diffuse nitrate pollution. This research investigated the potential for nitrate attenuation in a restored riverfloodplain system, the River Cole (Coleshill, England), with the aim of informing future restoration schemes of the best management practices for enhanced nitrate removal. Following restoration, the increased river-floodplain connectivity has encouraged overbank flooding of the different land use zones throughout the year. The flood pulse supplies the floodplain soil with river water nitrate and creates the necessary anaerobic conditions for the effective removal of nitrate via heterotrophic denitrification, while organic carbon is supplied mainly through the traditional land use management practices of grazing and mowing. The conservation of nitrogen via DNRA is of minimal importance in this lowland agricultural catchment setting, mainly due to the nonlimiting nitrate supply from the surrounding agricultural land but also the intermittent saturation regime that restricts the low redox conditions to the low elevation riparian areas. This presents the added benefit of restricting methane emission to the more frequently waterlogged riparian soils, while denitrification is effective across the whole floodplain area. Additionally, more than 90% of nitrate removal occurs in the top 30 cm of the soil during the flood, while the role of subsurface denitrification is restricted by the limited availability of organic carbon and nitrate. Based on these findings, this study demonstrates that, for similar catchments, the nitrate removal capacity of a floodplain can be assessed by the denitrification capacity of the surface soil. The assessment of the denitrification capacity can be undertaken inexpensively using a simple empirical model that requires a single microbial denitrification potential measurement, and a seasonal or monthly record of soil nitrate content, soil moisture, and temperature. Assessments can be undertaken as part of the design process to optimise nitrate removal or post restoration to appraise the functioning of the scheme.

Abstract:
The bioavailable fraction of phosphorus (BAP) in the lower Bear River system waters was investigated. BAP plays a critical role as the limiting nutrient for algal production and eutrophication in proposed reservoirs in the Bear River system. The Bear River system has a hardness rang ing between 180-240 rng/L as CaC03 which significantly affects BAP. BAP estimation was done by a modified Selenastrum capricornutum Printz Algal Assay Bottle Test. The algal bioassay is considered the best estimator of BAP because no chemical tests or i ndicator parameters are available. Autoclaving and UV radiation were found to be unacceptable means for sterilization because of phosphorus precipitation and inability to kill all the protozoa, respectively. Whole water samples were sterilized by gamma radiation . Hydrogen peroxide formed by gamma radiation was minimized by sparging with nitrogen gas , and adding peroxidase to remove low hydrogen peroxide concentrations. Soluble reactive phosphorus concentrations changed during radiation. The algal photosynthetic consumption of co2 in the assay procedure raised the pH from 8 to as high as 10, which resulted in significant quantities of phosphorus precipitating with calcium and becoming unavailable. To minimize the effects of precipitation, the following recommendations are made : (1) bubble the bioassay flask with a C02/air gas mixture to minimize pH increase ; and (2) use a high inoculum (105 cells/ml) of S . capricornutum that have been phosphorus starved for several days to maximize luxury uptake. Bioavailable phosphorus was estimated for each of the sources in Cache County. There are three major point sources (Logan, Hyrum, and Preston wastewater treatment plants) that contribute significant quantities of phosphorus . There are approximately 200 feedlots in the Cache Valley, and approximately 744,000 acres of land in Cache County which contribute runoff to the Bear River system. In Cache County, point sources contribute 2 8 , 20 0 ( 4 6%) kg BAP /yr, livestock runoff contributes 2,500 (4%) kg BAP/yr, and land runoff contributes 28,600 to 33,600 (50%) kg BAP/yr. Bioavailable phosphorus from land runoff was calculated by using export coefficients, which are usually accurate within a factor of two. A comprehensive phosphorus management plan is required to reduce available phosphorus from all sources to minimize algal blooms in the receiving waters.

The purpose of this thesis is to provide river basin managers with a framework for river restoration. To that end, it presents and discusses the relevant information on the current condition of the river Tua, in northern Portugal, and establishes what can be done to restore the river basin in order to protect the most important drainage basin's functions and ecosystems. It is intended that this thesis will serve as an example of the application of current knowledge on freshwater restoration which can be emulated by future managers in their efforts to restore this, or any water body they wish to. To this purpose, the thesis analyzes demographic data on the municipalities of the Tua drainage basin. It discusses literature and research on the subject of river restoration and important river processes in the following chapter, so as to introduce important theory concepts to have in mind when designing any restoration efforts. In its methodology, the techniques and data assessment tools used in the process of evaluating the river basin's conditions are described and defined, allowing interested managers to review and adapt to the specific needs of drainage basins anywhere. Finally, it presents a practical point-of-view intended to be applied on other freshwater bodies. The thesis includes the realization of an assessment physical characteristics and status of the Tua river reach, it splits up the drainage basin into several different sub-basins, for individual study, and, after a discussion of the conclusions drawn from the assessment for the whole drainage basin, it presents arguments for choosing the sub-sections which present the highest risk to the drainage basin and, as such, require priority action. This section also includes a presentation of the arguments in support of specific techniques to be put into place, given the specific needs of the sub-basin and the restoration goals for the entire drainage basin.

Abstract:
A study was made of the phosphorus ecology of the Swale - Ouse river in northern England. It ranges from a stream draining a peat moorland to a mature river influenced by urbanisation (estimated population 250 000) and intensive agriculture. The aims were to assess the concentration and variability of aqueous N and P on spatial and temporal scales, and the response of two common mosses, Fontinalis antipyretica and Rhynchostegium riparioides, to those changes. Key aspects included analysis of water chemistry, internal nutrient contents of mosses, and 'surface' phosphatase activity. The rate of activity of m situ plants was measured over an annual period, in conjunction with short-term studies of transplanted populations. Studies of phosphatase activity in the water also were carried out to assess the biological cycling of phosphorus. Aqueous total phosphorus and total dissolved nitrogen concentration increased on passing down the river. In the upper reaches, total phosphorus comprised equal contributions of dissolved organic and inorganic phosphorus, which were almost certainly derived from diffuse sources. Further downstream, total phosphorus was almost entirely comprised of inorganic phosphorus from point source inputs. The nitrogen and phosphorus content of Fontinalis antipyretica and Rhynchostegium riparioides increased on passing downstream, consistent with the water chemistry. The rate of phosphomonoesterase activity of both mosses was high in the upper reaches of the river, and was inversely related to nutrient content. Fontinalis antipyretica sampled from streams draining peat moorland was shown to have a high phosphodiesterase : phosphomonoesterase ratio. A possible explanation for this is that peat is a potentially rich source of phosphodiester substrate, although increased phosphodiesterase activity may be a response to extreme phosphorus limitation. Transplantation of F. antipyretica showed that internal nutrient content and phosphatase activity respond to changes in ambient nutrients. Aqueous phosphomonoesterase activity was studied over a 12-month period. Laboratory and field studies suggest it plays an important role in the. phosphorus dynamics of the Swale - Ouse river system.

Abstract:
Since combined nitrogen is a pollutant in streams, rivers and coastal areas, conditions that favour nitrogen removal were identified. The importance of stream depth as a predictor of a reach's capacity to remove nitrogen was tested in the South Nation watershed (3915 km2), an agricultural watershed in eastern Ontario. Combined nitrogen (N) retention was estimated in 48 reaches across the watershed which varied in discharge (0.0008--118 m3 s-1), length (350 m to 5.2 km) and size from headwaters to the outflow of the South Nation River at the Ottawa River. Retention dynamics were also investigated within a few sites over the summer season. Retention efficiency (expressed as a percentage of inputs) varied widely for nitrate from almost complete removal within a reach to reaches acting as a net source. A narrower range in percent retention and loading was observed for total nitrogen (TN) among the sites suggesting that some forms of combined nitrogen are relatively inert.

Abstract:
Many research studies on nutrient transfer are conducted at small scale and transferring such findings to the large scale at which planners and catchment managers work faces uncertainties because of non-linearity. There is a need therefore for multiscale studies, which define and link the transfer mechanisms across spatial scales. Such a study may also provide the answers on the processes driving it and test the answers further by using a model. Experimental data to support the study were collected from two complementary research programmes in the Eden catchment. Spatial scale variations were investigated through seasonal and spot samples down a sequence of nested catchments, area 1 – 1400 km2, from the NERC-funded Catchment Hydrology and Sustainable Management project (CHASM). Soil samples were also taken. These samples were analysed in the laboratories for nitrate, phosphates and suspended sediment using standard methods. The explanation of spatial variation was then supported by data from two contrasting 10 km2 catchments of the DEFRA-funded Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) project. A generalisation of the findings was carried out by deploying the TOPCAT-NP model. The nitrate, phosphorus and the suspended sediment concentration, load and yield increased downstream relative to the headwaters. Nitrate sources were complex and appear dominated by groundwater source whereas phosphorus and suspended sediment were from diffuse sources. Nitrate showed the clearest increasing pattern downstream when compared with the other nutrients. A downstream increase in nutrient transfer relates to a downstream increase in flow, agricultural land use and soil type. Hydrology of Morland was adequately represented by the model but the nutrients were less accurate leading to suggestions on model improvement. By carrying out a spatial scale related study of the Eden catchment, analysing the DTC high resolution data and modelling the data, insights into how, where and when nutrients losses occur have been gained. This encourages us, in that targeted land management and a better understanding of the hydrological processes that drive nutrient losses may be an effective way to reduce the problem.

Abstract:
As environmental uncertainty increases, incorporating resilience into project assessments, research recommendations, and future plans is becoming even more critical. This US Army Engineer Research and Development Center special report (SR) demonstrates how the concepts of resilience can be applied in a uniform framework and illustrates this framework through existing case studies on large inland river systems. This SR presents the concepts of resilience in inland river systems, the application of these concepts across disciplines, basic parameters of a resilience assessment, and the challenges and opportunities available for incorporating a more holistic approach to understanding resilience of the US Army Corps of Engineers mission areas on inland rivers. Finally, these concepts are demonstrated in several case studies in the United States to exemplify how these parameters have been applied to improve the overall performance of the system.
