  2. Discharge regime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_regime

    Discharge regime, [1] flow regime, or hydrological regime (commonly termed river regime, but that term is also used for other measurements) is the long-term pattern of annual changes to a stream's discharge at a particular point.

  3. Paleohydrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleohydrology

    Over most of geologic time, the long-term mean sea level has been higher than today. Only at the Permian-Triassic boundary ~250 million years ago was the long-term mean sea level lower than today. Long term changes in the mean sea level are the result of changes in the oceanic crust, with a downward trend expected to continue in the very long ...

  4. Channel pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_pattern

    [2] Alluvial channels are much more common and can be large or small. All large rivers, and most small ones, have channels that are usually lined with alluvium, sediment that was carried to that channel reach by the river and that eventually will be carried farther downstream . [ 3 ]

    Rain falling over a drainage basin in Scotland.Understanding the cycling of water into, through, and out of catchments is a key element of hydrology. Hydrology (from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdōr) 'water' and -λογία () 'study of') is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and management of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources, and ...

    A practitioner of hydrology is called a hydrologist. Hydrologists are scientists studying earth or environmental science , civil or environmental engineering , and physical geography . [ 1 ]

  8. Baseflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseflow

    Baseflow depletion curve is the declining of baseflow/groundwater and soil reserves. [2] The volume and rate of water moving as baseflow can be affected by macropores, micropores, and other fractured conditions in the soil and shallow geomorphic features. Infiltration to recharge subsurface storage increases baseflow.

  9. Riffle-pool sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riffle-pool_sequence

    Two pools separated by a riffle in Giba river in Ethiopia. In a flowing stream, a riffle-pool sequence (also known as a pool-riffle sequence) develops as a stream's hydrological flow structure alternates from areas of relatively shallow to deeper water.
