Abstract Hydraulic models for the generation of flood inundation maps are not commonly applied in mountain river basins because of the difficulty in modeling the hydraulic behavior and the complex topography. This paper ...

The prediction of water levels in rivers is important to prevent economical as well as human losses caused by flooding. Hydraulic models are commonly used to predict those water levels and take actions to mitigate flooding ...

Síntesis de estudios de casos que suministra información concreta sobre las modalidades de gestión y la situación actual y potencial del desarrollo de las zonas altas. Incluye también referencias sobre programas y proyectos ...

The study of hyporheic flow has gained attention in recent decades, due to the recognition of the various physical, geochemical and biological processes that occur at its interface. These processes directly and indirectly ...

In this photograph, coconut palms of various sizes and electricity poles and lines, flank the Western Main Road on both sides. To the north of this road is the village of Chagaramas. The mountain in the background is part ...

River flow velocity is determined by the energy available for flow motion and the energy fraction lost by flow resistance. We compared the performance of different equations for the Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficient ...

The Torrent Duck (Merganetta armata) inhabits the torrential rivers of the Andean mountains. As part of a long-term study, two rivers important for hydroelectric production were surveyed in Central Chile. Monthly indices ...

The present work consisted in the implementation of a small-scale physical model of a mountain river according to the similarity conditions that these models must satisfy, this model was implemented in a channel with ...
