Mar 8, 2017 · This all means that the cold region's rivers are not thermally static through time. Even in the High Arctic, an icy river can be frozen along both its vertical and horizontal profile during a good part of the long winter, and thaw completely during the short summer. But other considerations exists.

Jan 16, 2024 · The river is about 5-6 feet (1.5–1.8 metre) deep and moving fast enough so the river at the surface is completely ice free. The bottom of the river has ice attached to the rocks and occasionally the ice pops off and floats to the surface.

May 30, 2023 · It is not easy to classify rivers, especially on the basis that many rivers evolve (see fig) and that man often interferes with the river, but there is a good classification according to Dong-Geun Yoo, which gives different criteria for river classification. For example, the shape of the erosion valley, the width of the river branches, etc.

Feb 3, 2015 · A completely frozen river is equivalent to a glacier. There are glaciers that move, and there are glaciers that are static over periods of time. So the answer is yes. However. Could play a definition of words in time and space game with this question. When the river is completely frozen it is not a river anymore. In that case the answer is no

Oct 22, 2022 · While looking through the "minimum inflow" 24-month projection for the Colorado River basin, I noticed something odd for the Lake Mead chart: an expected negative inflow from side streams in June 2023. Date Glen release Side inflow Evap losses Jun 2023 577 -13 44 Where's the water going?

Mar 18, 2019 · I've always thought that river flooding would always be the same at the same river stage. For example, if the river stage is at 20' flooding at location "x" would always be at the same depth. However, current flood stages along the Mississippi River are not correlating with past photos at the same flood stages in the past.

There are different types of river sources, most people might think of springs, melting snow or glaciers, but other types of sources can include wet meadows or marshland. In terms of volume, what is the contribution of each type of source?

Mar 12, 2023 · When a meander of a river is completely cut off from the river, yet still contains water, it is called an oxbow lake. What if the meander is cut off only at the "exit", but the "entrance" remains? This could be because of human intervention or potentially insufficient time for sediments to close the "entrance".

Channelization is when you straighten a river to make a shorter path from A to B. This makes the water flow faster, since the path is shorter but the volumetric flow rate of water must be the same (because it's receiving the same rate of water from the watershed).

Jun 25, 2017 · In more detail: I would like to verify data on flow velocity of rivers that has been submitted to me. Usually it was taken at the side of the river (within 2-5 meters of the river bank. What features would I be looking for on Google Earth to get a rough idea if the submitted values could be correct or are completely off the edge?
