The work is primarily trying to determine a ratio between denudation and uplift so better estimates can be made on changes in the landscape. In 2016 and 2019, research that attempted to apply denudation rates to improve the stream power law so it can be used more effectively was conducted.
A mechanised waste water plant opened in 1905 and five purification plants now filter the water before releasing it into the Rhine. [1] [3] By 1933 the length of the system measured 735 kilometres (457 mi), [3] and by 2011 it had expanded to 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi). [4]
