The water footprint of agricultural products in European river basins

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
This work quantifies the agricultural water footprint (WF) of production (WF _prod, agr ) and consumption (WF _cons, agr ) and the resulting net virtual water import (netVW _i, agr ) of 365 European river basins for a reference period (REF, 1996–2005 ...

Improving flash flood risk assessment using a simple approach for extreme rainfall scaling and storms transposition

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2022
Flash flood risk management is among the key topics of the European Flood Directive. Design hydrographs of small river basins could underestimate the hydraulic risk in case of intense and short‐duration events because of the intensification of hourly ...

Lateral sediment sources and knickzones as controls on spatio-temporal variations of sediment transport in an Alpine river [PDF]

, 2013
Modern mixed alluvial-bedrock channels in mountainous areas provide natural laboratories for understanding the time scales at which coarse-grained material has been entrained and transported from their sources to the adjacent sedimentary sink, where ...

A new species of Lonchidiidae (Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of Brazil (Aliança Formation, Jatobá Basin)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Hepatic morphology and serum biochemical profile according to dry and rainy seasons in Pygocentrus nattereri (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the physiological and morphological adaptations of the liver of the carnivorous fish Pygocentrus nattereri (piranha) in response to seasonal variations (dry and rainy seasons) in the Brazilian Pantanal. The objective was to describe how the liver, a central organ in metabolic regulation, responds to environmental ...

River Basin Management and Irrigation [PDF]

, 2021
This chapter discusses both the role of irrigation in river basin development and closure and how its share in total water use can be reduced. It first briefly outlines the importance of unchecked irrigation development in the growing share of water consumption and the closure process of the basins examined in this volume.

Experimental reintroduction of woody debris on the Williams River, NSW: geomorphic and ecological responses [PDF]

, 2004
A total of 436 logs were used to create 20 engineered log jams (ELJs) in a 1.1 km reach of the Williams River, NSW, Australia, a gravel-bed river that has been desnagged and had most of its riparian vegetation removed over the last 200 years.

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...
