Description :
This paper examines first the segmentation of a river course based on the hazard types as characterized by sediment transport processes. Second, the sediment transport processes controlled by the shape of longitudinal profile of the river are discussed. Third, the relationship between the shape of the longitudinal profile and the relief in the drainage basin is examined. And finally, how the distribution of relief in a drainage basin controls the distribution of hazard types is discussed.
