Runoff Characteristics based on Channnel Network Structure

Abstract

A drainage basin consists of slopes and channels. Slopes are the main fields at which rainfall input is converted into discharge. Stream-channels are the main fields at which the discharge from the subbasins in synthesized and transported to down-stream. The channel network geometry plays very important role in the above transportation process. This paper forcuses on its process based on channel network geomorphology. Author presents new findings on the relationship between runoff characteristics and network magnitude.
