Using hydraulic geometry (HG) theory, we investigated three rivers typical of the Ecuadorian mountainous region with longitudinal slopes ranging from 0.8% to 10% and coarse bed material with d50 ranging from 3 to 54 mm and ...

Reliable estimates of the unsaturated soil hydraulic properties are needed in many research and engineering projects. Fractal based approaches have become popular for describing the hydraulic functions. New models based ...

Hydraulic geometry (HG) theory has been applied to characterize the morphological changes that a river undergoes as a result of changes in discharge. Furthermore, HG has been used in a variety of studies including indirect ...

A B S T R A C T The need for studies on environmental issues, such as water resources, is increasingly essential as a way of mitigating the adverse impacts caused by human actions. In this sense this article aims to analyze ...

In Ecuador, steep rough-bedded channels constitute the main component of mountainous drainage system. They provide sediment to milder-slope downstream channels. Thus, sediment transport represents a driving process in ...

"La evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa de la dinámica del flujo del río, requiere un conocimiento detallado de todas las variables geométricas y geofísicas que normalmente se recopilan mediante aforos in-situ (Turnipseed, ...

Large fluvial systems adjust to a combination of controls to form distinctive channels, which represent a dominant factor in the evolution of floodplain geomorphology and sedimentology. Fluvial geomorphology has commonly ...
