Explorations into the formal structure of drainage basins

Auteur :
WERNER, C.

Description :
This paper introduces several new concepts to capture in greater detail and make operationally accessible the graph-theoretic and geometric structure of drainage basins; derives several logical relations between new and established basin parameters; examines the effects of chance on the internal partition of basins and establishes empirical relations between certain channel and basin parameters; and explores the possible reconstruction of the basin from selected basin variables and their functional relations.
