The anthropogenous changes of water regime in the landscape are discussed. Systematic research in the Odra River basin brings a relatively comprehensive view on the anthropogenous hydrology in this basin. Reservoirs of the Odra-River management
The Singapore River thematic zone : sustainable tourism in an urban context
ville plus compétitive : examen de la stratégie des zones thématiques. Mettant l'accent sur la zone Singapore River, ils évaluent sa viabilité dans le cadre d'un tourisme urbain durable.
Environmental history since 11,000 14C yr B.P. of the northeastern Pampas, Argentina, from alluvial sequences of the Luján River
Sedimentological, malacological, and pollen analyses from 14C-dated alluvial sections from the Luján River provide a detailed record of environmental changes during the Holocene in the northeastern Pampas of Argentina. Based on these data, the AA
9000 years of salmon fishing on the Columbia River, North America
A large assemblage of salmon bones excavated 50 yr ago from an 10,000-yr-old archaeological site near The Dalles, Oregon, has been the primary evidence that early native people along the Columbia River subsisted on salmon. Analysis of archaeologic
Changes in the Salt River, tributary to the Knysna estuary, South Africa : 1936-1998
Rapid changes in the lower Salt River are documented through the use of an air photo time series. Rapid changes in the channel course, land use changes, siltation and floods impacted upon the system. Sedimentation of the estuary was greater than
Pore water pressure (positive and negative) were monitored for 4 years (1996-1999) in a riverbank of the Sieve River, Tuscany (central Italy), with the objective of investigating pore pressure changes in response to flow events and their effects
on bank stability. Besides the peak river stage, which mainly controls the occurence of conditions of instability, an important role is played by the hydrograph characteristics, in particular by the presence of one or more minor peaks in the river stage

An alluvial chronology for the One Tree Creek basin, a southern tributary of the Red Deer River in the vicinity of the Dinosaur Provincial Park badlands, is reconstructed using terrace and paleochannel remnants and associated radiocarbon dated bones
. The chronology suggests that rapid incision by One Tree Creek took place during the late Holocene, probably in response to climatic changes rather than an adjustment to the postglacial downcutting of the main river.

The banks of the sandy-bottomed, meandering Mała Panew River are covered with trees which change the channel morphology. A pole calibrated vertically and horizontally was used to study the formation of bottom and overbank forms in the Mała Panew
alluvial stratigraphic work conducted along the Brazos River. The temporal alluvial stratigraphic framework of the bedrock-confined Cowhouse Creek valley is out of phase with the alluvial sequence in the larger Brazos River valley.

The AA. have made an attempt to interpret climatic variations during the past 3600 yr using oxygen isotope data from teeth enamel from archaeological sites in the central alluvial plain of the Ganga river. This is the first record of climatic
Diatom assemblages and organic carbon records from 2 sediment cores located within an estuarian bay of the inner Kara Sea trace changes in Yenisei River runoff and postglacial depositional environments. Paleosalinity and sea-ice reconstructions
are based on modern relationships of local diatom assemblages and summer surface-water salinity. Approximately 15,500 cal yr B.P., rivers and bogs characterized the study area. The results show the short-term variability in riverine discharge, paleosalinity
