The twelfth largest in length‚ it is‚ for reasons that I examine in the text‚ still surprisingly little known by comparison with other great rivers such as the Nile or Amazon. Yet the Mekong and the lands that lie beside it possess a turbulent history and face major contemporary political social and economic problems‚ and so an uncertain future

Pakistan received more than three times their annual rainfall in a matter of 36 hours. Gushing quickly down the tributaries into the Indus River‚ the rainwater’s gave rise to floods of catastrophic proportions. Given the immensity of the downpours‚ some flooding was inevitable. Yet rivers are essentially channels to drain out water; being one of the largest rivers of the world‚ the Indus should have been able to carry out the excess waters into the Arabian Sea which it joins near Karachi. Why could

Saints at the River‚ by Ron Rash‚ is a novel that brings light to the controversy of conservation and effectively relays both sides of the argument with very limited biased. There are many factors that influence the controversy and its surrounding issues‚ but the primary decision is whether or not nature should be preserved or commercialized. While the young girl’s father uses an emotional argument and only wants his daughter’s body‚ many of the people supporting him care much more about using this

Moreover‚ still many people do illegal logging and because of that there isn’t water absorbing and the water into river. Beside that‚ build a construction cause of flood too‚ because they isn’t water absorbing. Last‚ cause of various factors. Flood can happen cause of sediment decreases because many people live beside river. In conclusion‚ flood

An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it‚ and with a free connection to the open sea.[1] Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and ocean environments and are subject to both marine influences‚ such as tides‚ waves‚ and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences‚ such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The inflow of both seawater and freshwater provide high levels of nutrients in both the water column

Small Hydropower Project (The Project) is Run off River (RoR) type with its headworks located in Tinekhu River at some 3 km upstream from the confluence of Tamakoshi River and Tinekhu River. The distance to the intake site from Singati Bazaar is about 6 km north-east. The powerhouse is located along the left bank of Tamakoshi River‚ some 100 m upstream from the confluence of Tamakoshi River with Tinekhu River. There is a bridge over Tamakoshi River near powerhouse and a seasonal road up to the forebay

region and glaciers‚ rivers‚ and streams eroded the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. Today‚ mountain erosion continues to carry debris out onto the plains. When melting snows and heavy rains fill rivers beyond their banks‚ they flood. The waters spread out over the surrounding landscape and drop the load of mud‚ sand‚ and silt they normally channel downstream. Over thousands of years‚ the sediments build up floodplains. Alluvial plains often form where steep mountain valley rivers gush onto more
