This paper compares stream runoff in China in terms of drainage basin, water balance, and regional distribution and regime of stream runoff with that in Europe. These comparative studies have been done in order to deepen the understanding
of regional differentiation and the cause of formation of stream runoff in both regions.

A classification system for natural rivers is presented in which a morphological arrangement of stream characteristics is organized into relatively homogeneous stream types. This paper describes morphologically similar stream reaches
that are divided into 7 major stream type categories that differ in entrenchment, gradient, width/depth ratio, and sinuosity in various landforms. Recent stream type data used to further define classification interrelationships were derived from 450 rivers
Compositional discriminant function analysis of bank stability on the basis of hydraulic geometry had a success rate of 88%, making routinely archived measurements of stream width, cross-sectional area, mean velocity, and discharge a readily
available data base for predicting the stability of stream reaches.
The aim of this paper is to improve the understanding of the nature and dynamics of river channel patterns in the humid tropics through detailed survey and quantitative analysis of the plan geometry of alluvial streams in a seasonally wet humid
This study investigates the fluvial dynamics of straight natural stream channels. In particular, this experimental field study quantitatively assesses a physically based non-linear mathematical theory of alternate bar formation under unsteady
natural flow conditions within a straight alluvial stream. The study site is an artificially straightened section of the Embarras River located approximately 16 km south of Champaign, Illinois. Data were collected on channel form, gradient, alternate bar
Time patterns of karst denudation in northwest Georgia (U.S.A.) were investigated at three spring sites for 12 months and at five stream sites for 10 years. Rainfall was evenly distributed and showed no significant seasonality. At the springs
, as well as the streams, water hardness was largely controlled by discharge. Time cycles in available water are the key controlling factor of denudation, and amounts of available soil CO2 may not be as important in the temporal patterns of karst downwearing

The relation between morphological change and patterns of variation in bedload transport rate in braided streams was observed by repeated, daily topographic surveys over a 25 day study period in a 60 m reach of the proglacial Sunwapta River, Alberta
Waterfalls occurring in the Polish Outer Carpathians have been studied with regard to their geological settings. They are small forms developed on faulted flysch rocks of different resistance on streams characterized by similar features of catchment
basins and similar discharges. The classification of these erosional landforms is based on criteria considering the bed sequence, their position relative to the stream flow, and morphological properties. The course of the evolution of particular types
