Physicochemical Conditions in the Floodplains
1997The different water colors of Amazonian rivers are documented in the river names e.g., Rio Negro (black river), Rio Branco (white river), Rio Claro (clear river), Rio Verde (green river), and indicate differences in water quality. Sioli (1950) related water color to specific conditions in the catchment areas and recognized three main water types based ...

Floodplain sedimentation: Quantities, patterns and processes
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1995AbstractThis paper presents the result of measurements of floodplain sedimentation using sediment traps. The study was carried out on two embanked floodplains along the Rivers Rhine and Meuse in The Netherlands during a 3 day flood in January 1993. Raster maps of sediment accumulation were made by interpolating the measurements from the traps using ...

This makes them alternately suitable for aquatic and terrestrial organisms, but makes utilization by humans difficult. For this reason, the extensive floodplains of Europe and North America were largely eliminated or strongly modified early on by human activities.
