The region leads the country in transport and communication as indicated by route density, port capacity, volume of cargo and passenger flow. There are intra-regional differences, however, owing to differences in terrain. A high proportion
of the cargo, mostly fuel and raw material for industries, is handled by water transport. The direction of flow is unbalanced. Port construction has fallen behind the development in production and trade, yet the advantage offered by a dense network of inland
Physico-chemical analyses of river Water (Dungsel Khola, Central Nepal) were made before and during the monsoon. Differences in physico-chemical characteristics in response to the flow of Water are recorded and interpreted. Altitudinal zonation
intermountain plain. Morphology of the tectonic relief suggests that lithospheric blocks within the mountain belt underwent strong horizontal crushing and longitudinal flow. Arch-block orogenesis (of Gobian type) prevails, mountains growing at the expense
Regional urban systems in Japan have a close relationship with prefectural territories. The population of prefectural capitals has gradually been controlled by the population scale of the prefecture. Analyzing the migration flows among 649 cities
In this study, the A. adopts two points of view : social geography, and population geography. The first one stresses characteristics of migrants especially age, sex and so on. The second one overviews the whole character of out-migration flows from
The reservoir will regulate rather than reduce the dry season flow below the station. Because of the low capacity of the reservoir, the discharge below the station during the flood stage will be the same as before. Mineral and organic content
(corresponding to Mindel glaciation) which was said to be typical morain debris is really a sediment of piedmont fan. Its main features can be explained by the mechanism of debris-mud flow accumulation. (TNC).
. Long term development depends on improved water supply by the transfer of water from South China to the North, regulation of flow on the rivers Huanghe, Huaihe, and Haihe, and soil conservation in the upper reaches. (TNC).
in modifying current flow, tidal ventilation, littoral drift and wave pattern. How far the resultant redistribution of wave energy, locally enhanced by the presence of a typhoonal environment and coastal reservoirs, modifies the spatial pattern of erosion
at the valley outlet from 57 m/s to 96 m/s. The Flood Routing Index has been doubled and floods are transmitted in a much shorter time. Increase in upstream water consumption brought the water flow during the summer months to very low levels.
