River Management
According to The Nature Conservancy, integrated river basin management (IRBM) is the collaborative process of integrating the conservation, management, and development of water, land, and related resources across sectors within a given river basin. The purpose is to improve economic and social benefits derived from water resources in an equitable manner while preserving and, where necessary, restoring freshwater ecosystems. Resources available in this sub-theme include strategic decision-making guides, government funding information, and detailed urban policies on river basin management.

A Derived Flood Frequency Distribution Based on the Density Function of Rainfall Excess
Published:
July 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development
The geomorphoclimatic theory is used, along with the joint probability density function of storm duration and storm intensity and the representation of the infiltration process, to derive the flood frequency distribution for a given catchment. The infiltration process is represented by two...Read more

Published:
July 1, 1983U.S. Agency for International Development
Methodologies relating river response to basin geomorphology are useful in the estimation of hydrologic behavior in regions with sparse or no data. This study describes research of potential value in traditional hydraulic routing applications. In it the infiltration losses along the streams of a...Read more
