Analysis of Morphological Factors in the Changes of Spatial Patterns of Alvand River [PDF]
geographical researches quarterly journal, 2017 Alvand is a vital River in western Iran that forms Iran’s border for the length of 27 km. Recent droughts and special morphological infrastructure, have provided a possibility for variability in the geometric pattern and spatial distribution. Understanding and extracting such changes and the morphological factors behind them is the important subject of
