Methods for the Quantitative Assessment of Channel Processes in Torrents (Steep Streams)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents an overview of methods to quantify channel processes in steep catchments. The understanding and the quantitative description of channel processes provides an essential basis for the planning of protection measures. Channel processes are mostly triggered by rainfall events and associated runoff processes. Apart from possible flood
