Flood Wave Attenuation as a Function of Floodplain Storage, Secondary Channel Conveyance, and Discharge

Water Resources Research
The elevation of natural river levees can vary considerably along the length of a river, and low‐lying features such as secondary floodplain channels allow for hydrologic exchange between a river and its floodplain over a range of discharges.

Hydrogeological Investigation and Parameter Analysis of Floodplain Area in the Reaches of the Yangtze River [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
The binary structure of the floodplain in the reaches of the Yangtze River is obvious and has unique hydrogeological features. In this paper, the hydrogeological survey of the floodplain area is carried out.

Evolution and drivers of secondary suspended rivers in typical wandering sections of the lower Yellow River from 1960–2021

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The secondary suspended river increases the probability of the occurrence of “Heng river”, “Xie river” and “Gun river” in the lower Yellow River, and is the main factor threatening the safety of human life and property in the Yellow River levee and beach

Sediment management and the renewability of floodplain clay for structural ceramics [PDF]

, 2009
The Netherlands has vast resources of clay that are exploited for the fabrication of structural ceramic products such as bricks and roof tiles. Most clay is extracted from the so-called embanked floodplains along the rivers Rhine and Meuse, areas that ...

Intensification of Flash and Long‐Term Droughts in the Danube River Basin: A Multi‐Scale Analysis Using Satellite‐Derived Evaporative Stress Index and Soil Water Index

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Analysed drought intensification in the Danube using Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) and Soil Water Index (SWI). Flesh drought detection: developed thresholds for rapid drought detection using ESI‐4Wk and SWI‐40. Multi‐layer analysis: combined atmospheric stress and soil moisture to assess drought impacts.

Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

Coupling of groundwater, river level and rainfall in an upland floodplain [PDF]

, 2014
Upland floodplains provide an important function in regulating river flows and controlling the coupling of hillslope runoff with rivers. To investigate the responses of floodplain groundwater to river flows and rainfall events, a small floodplain in an
