Distribution of hazard types in a drainage basin and its relation to geomorphological setting
Bassin-versant ; Coulée boueuse ; Cours d'eau ; Inondation ; Japon ; Pente de versant ; Profil longitudinal ; Risque naturel ; Transport sédimentaire
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.

The purpose of this paper is to examine spatial variations in flood discharges in one major tributary to the Mississippi River drainage system. The Raccoon River basin has variable topography and land use, including some of the most intensely
than other comparably sized basins in the Racoon River basin and the upper Midwest for which data were available.
Geomorphology applied to flooding problems of closed-basin lakes...specifically Great Salt Lake, Utah
This paper reports on how geomorphic evidence has contributed to an understanding and definition of flooding hazards associated with closed-basin lakes in the Great Basin of the western United States and specifically with the largest of these lakes
in these two rivers are an example of the interplay between meteorology and drainage basin characteristics that provides central India with the most intense flood phenomena in seasonal tropics.
