Bias in Peak Flood Discharges: Are Our Bridges and Culverts Undersized?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable methods for peak discharge predictions at ungaged locations are required for infrastructure design and floodplain management. For decades, a standard practice in the United States has been to utilize US Geological Survey regional regression equations (StreamStats) as a singular method. However, implementation of multiple methods, such

Lowland river responses to intraplate tectonism and climate forcing quantified with luminescence and cosmogenic 10Be [PDF]

, 2013
Intraplate tectonism has produced large-scale folding that steers regional drainage systems, such as the 1600 km-long Cooper Ck, en route to Australia’s continental depocentre at Lake Eyre.

Resilient Flow Regimes in the Rio Grande—Río Bravo Basin

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is essential for human development and is an indispensable resource for economic activity and a country's growth. However, current water practices, along with increasing land‐use change, climate change, and agricultural practices, have significantly altered the hydrological cycle and water availability.

Quantifying Activated Floodplains on a Lowland Regulated River: Its Application to Floodplain Restoration in the Sacramento Valley

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2009
We describe a process and methodology for quantifying the extent of a type of historically prevalent, but now relatively rare, ecologically-valuable floodplains in the Sacramento lowland river system: frequently-activated floodplains.

The Transboundary Reach of the Columbia River: Cottonwood Colonization Followed Flow Moderation From the Columbia River Treaty Dams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,
