Abstract:
Species checklists and dichotomous keys are valuable tools that provide many services for ecological studies and management through tracking native and non-native species through time. We developed nine drainage basin checklists and dichotomous keys for 196 inland fishes of Texas, consisting of 171 native fishes and 25 non-native fishes. Our checklists were updated from previous checklists and revised using reports of new established native and non-native fishes in Texas, reports of new fish occurrences among drainages, and changes in species taxonomic nomenclature. We provided the first dichotomous keys for major drainage basins in Texas. Among the 171 native inland fishes, 6 species are considered extinct or extirpated, 13 species are listed as threatened or endangered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 59 species are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) by the state of Texas. Red River drainage basin was the most speciose with 120 fishes. Rio Grande & Pecos drainage basin had the greatest number of threatened or endangered fishes (N = 7) and the greatest number of SGCN fishes (N = 28). We revised drainage basin occurrences for 77 species. Drainage basin checklists and dichotomous keys provide finer resolution of species distributions within the geopolitical boundaries of Texas and can reduce probability of errors in fish identification errors by removing species not occurring within a natural boundary.

Abstract:
The drainage basins of Greece are analyzed in terms of hierarchy and discussed in view of Tsallis Entropy. This concept has been successfully used in a variety of complex systems, where fractality, memory and long-range interactions are dominant. The analysis indicates that the statistical distribution of drainage basins’ area in Greece, presents a hierarchical pattern that can be viewed within the frame of non-extensive statistical physics. Our work was based on the analysis of the ASTER GDEM v2 Digital Elevation Model of Greece, which offers a 30 m resolution, creating an accurate drainage basins’ database. Analyzing the drainage size (e.g., drainage basin area)-frequency distribution we discuss the connection of the observed power law exponents with the Tsallis entropic parameters, demonstrating the hierarchy observed in drainage areas for the set created for all over Greece and the subsets of drainages in the internal and external Hellenides that are the main tectonic structures in Greece. Furthermore, we discuss in terms of Tsallis entropy, the hierarchical patterns observed when the drainages are classified according to their relief or the Topographic Position Index (TPI). The deviation of distribution from power law for large drainages area is discussed.

Abstract:
Continental Devonian sediments attain a stratigraphic thickness in excess of 8000 m in North-East Greenland. Four tectonostratigraphic basin stages are recognized in the succession defined by drainage patterns and bounding unconformities and named according to their constituent Iithostratigraphic units. The oldest Vilddal basin stage exhibits eastward drainage, the succeeding Kap Kolthoff - Kap Graah basin stage exhibits southward drainage, northward drainage characterizes the Celsius Bjerg basin stage, and southwestward drainage is characteristic of the youngest Harder Bjerg basin stage.

Common methods of extracting representations of drainage networks from raster digital elevation models for hydrological and geomorphological applications are similar to a class of image processing methods known as grayscale watershed algorithms. These algorithms partition a field of scalar values into connected regions based on a local minimum associated with each region. A related class of image processing algorithms, known as 2-dimensional skeletonization algorithms, reduce a planar shape to a one-dimensional, connected, graph-like structure, called a skeleton, that maintains significant information about the properties of the original shape. The morphological similarity between the skeleton of a region and a drainage network suggest that skeletonization algorithms might be used to relate basin shape to the drainage network within the basin. This idea was examined by applying two 2-dimensional skeletonization algorithms to two drainage basin boundary shapes extracted from digital elevation models to attempt to predict stream channel locations within the basin. The skeletons computed for the two basins studied did not predict the location of principal channels in the interiors of the basins studied. This is due, at least in part, to the fact that these two dimensional algorithms only consider symmetry with respect to plan view basin shape, with no consideration made of relative elevations along basin boundaries or position of the boundary points with respect to the basin outlet. In convex outward salients of the upper reaches of the two basins studied, the position and planform of computed skeletons agree reasonably well with the upper reaches of drainage networks derived from the digital elevation model. This observation suggests a relationship between basin boundary shape and the location and form of the channel network, at least in the neighborhood of the boundary in upper portions of the basins. A brief review of recent results from computational geometry and image analysis suggest several possible methods of extending this analysis to incorporate relative elevation along the boundary and orientation of the boundary with respect to the basin outlet, and possibly resolving this question.

Abstract:
A atualidade à marcada por uma forte exploraÃÃo aos recursos naturais sendo que o resultado da sobre-exploraÃÃo à refletido imediatamente na paisagem. Os ambientes aquÃticos sÃo um dos sistemas que rapidamente respondem as modificaÃÃes instauradas sobre o seu meio, dessa forma, as bacias hidrogrÃficas apresentam-se como Ãreas excelentes para estudos de diagnÃstico, pois podem indicar transformaÃÃes ocorridas em escala espacial e temporal como foi realizado por Gorayeb (2008) e Lima (2012). Foi nesse sentido que se desenvolveu um estudo na bacia de drenagem do aÃude Forquilha, localizada no setor noroeste do estado do CearÃ, regiÃo semiÃrida do estado entre as coordenadas 40Â06â51ââ de longitude oeste e 3Â45â39ââ de latitude sul. A bacia de drenagem do aÃude Forquilha abrange uma Ãrea de 191,83 Km2 e està inserida dentro do municÃpio Forquilha, no distrito de mesmo nome, distante 220 km de Fortaleza. AlÃm do aÃude Forquilha existem na Ãrea outros reservatÃrios de pequeno porte como o aÃude Pocinhos e o Juazeiro. O trabalho teve como objetivo a efetivaÃÃo de uma anÃlise geoecolÃgica, baseada no estudo das paisagens, visando à obtenÃÃo de um diagnÃstico do estado dos recursos naturais. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se da Geoecologia das Paisagens que visa à investigaÃÃo do meio natural atravÃs de um enfoque sistÃmico, desta forma, fundamentando-se principalmente nos trabalhos de Rodriguez; Silva; Cavalcanti (2004); Rodriguez, Silva (2002) e Rodriguez, Silva, Leal (2011). Para isso, realizou-se um levantamento bibliogrÃfico e cartogrÃfico; elaboraram-se mapas temÃticos da bacia na escala de 1:80000 atravÃs das tÃcnicas de geoprocessamento com apoio de produtos cartogrÃficos como a Folha SA.24-X-D-IV Sobral na escala de 1:100.000 (1972) alÃm de imagens de satÃlite Landsat 5 e 8 (2009/2014) que tambÃm serviram como suporte as prÃticas de campo. Com a efetivaÃÃo da anÃlise paisagÃstica, obteve-se a caracterizaÃÃo e a classificaÃÃo da paisagem identificando cinco unidades na bacia onde se apontou suas potencialidades e limitaÃÃes. Com o diagnÃstico, pode-se afirmar que a paisagem da bacia do aÃude Forquilha encontra-se descaracterizada de seus aspectos naturais com processos acelerados de degradaÃÃo, pois identificaram-se diversos impactos negativos na Ãrea como o desmatamento, a degradaÃÃo dos solos e a poluiÃÃo do aÃude Forquilha que apresentou eutrofizaÃÃo na maior parte do ano de acordo com as anÃlises realizadas. Por fim, constatou-se que o uso e ocupaÃÃo do solo na Ãrea vÃm sendo realizado de forma irregular o que indica a necessidade de se propor aÃÃes educativas junto à populaÃÃo e aos ÃrgÃos administrativos responsÃveis pela gestÃo da bacia a fim de viabilizar o uso sustentÃvel dos recursos naturais.
Nowadays has been marked by a strong exploration for natural resources and the result of overexploitation is reflected immediately in the landscape. The aquatic environments are one of the systems that respond quickly to changes brought about it thus the hidrografic basins are presented as excellent areas for studies of diagnostic as they may indicate transformations in spatial and temporal scale as done by Gorayeb (2008) and Lima (2012). It was developed in this sense a study on the river drainage basin the Forquilha dam, located northwest of Cearà semiarid region of the state in the coordinates 40Â06'51 '' west longitude and 3Â45'39 '' south latitude. The river drainage basin Forquilha dam covers an area of 191, 83 km2 and is inserted into the Forquilha municipality in the district of the same name, 220km far from Fortaleza. In addition to the Forquilha dam exist in the area other small reservoirs as the Pocinhos dam and Juazeiro dam. The study aimed to the realization of a geoecological analysis, based on the study of landscapes, in order to obtain a diagnosis of the state of natural resources. Methodologically, it was used the Geoecology of Landscapes that aims to research the natural environment through a systemic approach in this way, basing it primarily on studies of Rodriguez; Silva; Cavalcanti (2004); Rodriguez; Silva (2002) and Rodriguez; Silva; Leal (2011). For this, there was a literature and mapping research; it was prepared thematic maps of the basin in the scale of 1: 80,000 by using geoprocessing techniques with the support of cartographic products as SA.24-XD-IV Sobral leaf on a scale of 1: 100,000 (1984) as well as Landsat 5 satellite images and 8 (2009/2014) which also served to support the practical field. With the conclusion of landscape analysis, obtained the characterization and the landscape classification identifying five units in the basin where they pointed their potentialities and limitations. With the diagnosis, it can be said that the landscape of Forquilha dam basin is uncharacteristic of their natural aspects with accelerated processes of degradation for many negative impacts such as deforestation in the area has been identified, soil degradation and pollution on the Forquilha Weir and eutrophication presented most of the year according to the analyzes. Finally, it was found that the use and occupation of land in the area have been held irregularly indicating the need to propose educational activities among the population and the administrative agencies responsible for basin management in order to enable the sustainable use of natural resources.

Abstract:
The Vera Basin is used as a case study to examine the structural evolution and sedimentary response of a basin undergoing uplift and inversion during the Plio-Pleistocene. Particular emphasis is placed on the drainage evolution during that period. Located within the Internal zone of the Betic Cordilleras, the Vera Basin is defined within a large left-lateral shear zone and has evolved as a reponse to isostatic uplift from nappe emplacement during the Oligocene, and by regional compressive tectonics. Since basin formation during the Seravallian, sedimentary fill has been dominantly marine. During the Plio-Pleistocene a switch from marine to continental conditions occurred. These sediments (Cuevas, Espiritu Santo and Salmerbn Formations) represent the final stages of basin fill and form the focus of this study. The Cuevas Formation represents an early Pliocene marine transgression within the Vera Basin. Early sedimentation mulled a pronounced submarine topography produced by a rapid late Miocene fall in sealevel. A broad, shallow shelf platform area existed which opened out to the Pliocene Mediterranean Sea towards the east. Along the northern and western basin margins, wave dominated shorelines were formed. Structural activity was confined to low amounts of basin subsidence and limited left lateral strike-slip movement along the Palomares Fault Zone. The Espiritu Santo Formation marks a major palaeogeographic reorganisation and the final marine phases of the Vera Basin during the mid to late Pliocene. Unsteady strike-slip movement along the Palomares fault zone on the eastern basin margin partially enclosed the Vera Basin by northwards movement of a structurally detached landmass. Gilbert-type fan-delta bodies prograded westwards from the landmass (Sierra Almagrera), infilling the central region of the basin. Early fan-delta sediments were reworked into shoreline areas along the western and northern basin margins. Western margin shorelines retreated northwards as a response to partial enclosure and a gradual lowering of sea-level. Late stages of the Espiritu Santo Formation, saw a fan-delta body prograde from the northern basin margins. Interaction between the basinal and marginal fan-delta bodies enclosed the northern region of the Vera Basin. A swamp/mangrove environment developed within the enclosed northern basin area suggesting a humid, sub-tropical climate. Continental conditions were established during Salmerön Formation times in the late Pliocene. Along the western and northern basin margins, the retreating Pliocene shorelines provided a topography onto which the primary consequent drainage network developed. Three separate drainage systems can be identified on the basis of clast assemblages, palaeocurrents, depositional style and morphological expression. Early deposition was characterised by the progradation of alluvial fans of two drainage systems (Cuevas & Jauro), sourced from the northern and western basin margins. Distal areas of the northern fan system intercalated with an evaporitic playa lake. A third drainage system in the northwest of the basin (Salmerbn) developed within a topographic low between the two fan systems. An increase in structural activity towards the end of the Salmerbn Formation was characterised by a basin wide phase of north-south compression. Uplift and extensional faulting lead to abandonment of the primary drainage network. Fan entrenchment and minor rerouting of sediment supplies marked the establishment of a new secondary consequent drainage network during the Pleistocene. The Pleistocene drainage network records the progressive dissection of the Vera Basin as a response to ongoing regional epeirogenic uplift. During this post-inversion phase the Rios Antas, Almanzora and Aguas developed respectively along the western, northern and southern basin margins as- a series of braided streams. Distal, coastal areas of this drainage network are recorded by a series of Pleistocene shoreline sequences which developed as a response to fluctuating sea-level during the Pleistocene glacial and interglacial periods. Early Pleistocene proximal parts of the drainage network are well preserved. Distal parts of the Pleistocene fluvial system display limited evidence for interaction between the drainage network and shoreline sequences. This lack of preservation relates to the high energy, wave dominated depositional setting of the Pleistocene shoreline areas which reworked fluvial sediment inputs into the shoreline environment. The Plio-Pleistocene evolution of the Vera Basin, and in particular the development of the fluvial during system this period has been highly complex. Despite the importance of sea-level and climatic controls, tectonic activity during this period of basin inversion has been the dominant control on the positioning of the drainage networks, depositional styles and sediment supply.

Abstract:
Final Report to Pima County Department of Transportation and Flood Control District, June 1987.
Executive Summary: Three case study simulations of dry well drainage were performed using the saturated-unsaturated groundwater flow model UNSAT 2. Each case simulated injection of storm water runoff water into a dry well from two five-year, one-hour storm events, separated by a 24-hour lag period. The first case assumed subsurface conditions of a uniform gravelly sand material from land surface to the water table at 100 feet below land surface. The second case assumed the same gravelly sand, underlain by a uniform sandy-clay loam material beginning at 30 feet below land surface and extending to the water table. The third case assumed the same conditions as in Case 2, except for a sandy loam soil replacing the sandy-clay loam material. Simulated subsurface flow of injection water for the first case was primarily vertical. The cross-sectional radius of the 95% saturated portion of the drainage plume reached a maximum of about nine feet during stormwater injection. In the second and third cases, horizontal flow took place at the layer boundary between the gravelly sand and underlying fine material. As a result, the cross-sectional radius of the 95% saturated portion of the drainage plume reached a maximum of about 27 feet for Case 2, and about 21.5 feet for Case 3. Arrival times of injection water at the water table varied from between 0.25 and 0.75 hours (Case 1), and between 130 and 150 hours (Case 2). Attenuation of water-borne pollutants in the vadose zone is related to the degree of exposure of drainage water to soil particle surfaces. The specific surface area of soil particles to which drainage water was exposed was used as an indicator of the relative degree of attenuation that may take place among the three cases. The ratio of specific surface area of soil matrix exposed to the portion of the subsurface reaching a state of 80% saturation was approximately 1 : 16.2 : 5.6 (Case 1 : Case 2 : Case 3).

Abstract:
The impact of external and internal controls on long-term drainage evolution can play an important role in the research on global changes. For longer term controls such as tectonics and climate this necessitates the use of a long time-scale such as the Plio/Pleistocene, and the integration of both geological and geomorphological data. This thesis uses data from Plio/Pleistocene alluvial deposits (deltaic and fluvial) of the Carboneras Basin in southeast Spain to address these issues. The Carboneras Basin, an intermontane basin of the Belie Cordillera, was one of the last of a series of sedimentary basins which underwent transition from marine to continental conditions during the Plio/Pleistocene in this region. The basin is still tectonically active, controlled by surface uplift of the basin, differential uplift of the Sierra Alhamilla/Cabrera mountain range and activity along the 40 km long strike-slip Carboneras Fault. This study follows the evolution of a basin-scale drainage network using a multidisciplinary approach to determine the long-term influences of extrinsic and intrinsic controls on the drainage system of the Carboneras basin. Geological and geomorphological data is evaluated to trace the depositional and erosional record of the drainage systems. Palaeogeographic reconstruction of the marine and deltaic Pliocene deposits revealed large fan delta sediments in the northern part of the Carboneras Basin. Detailed field investigations discovered a 'Gilbert' type delta, suggesting the occurrence of a steep palaeocliff created by vertical movements along the Carboneras Fault Zone. Palaeocurrent measurements suggest three fluvial inputs from N-NW directions into the Carboneras Basin: the Rambla de Lucainena, Rambla de Ios Feos and Rio Gafares. The Rio Gafares, responsible for the Gilbert type fan delta, was the biggest and probably most important drainage system in terms of sediment supply to the basin during the Upper Pliocene. After a fall in sea level the transverse, antecedent Rio Gafares evolved developing a staircase of straths and terraces. Four terrace levels have been assigned for the Rio Gafares. Detailed investigations of river terrace deposits established an ongoing connection between the adjacent Sorbas Basin and the Carboneras drainage until the Late Pleistocene. A probable river capture of the Rio Gafares finally limited the catchment size of the river and decreased the sediment supply to the Carboneras Basin. This can be seen in the provenance distribution and the lack of Amphibole-mica-schist, which was used as a marker clast for Nevado-Filabride component, derived from the Sorbas Basin. The terraces of the Gafares system are mainly controlled by tectonically driven uplift of the Sierra Cabrera. Additional to the north-south draining Gafares River a strike parallel river, the Rio Alias, developed south of the mountain front by the confluence of the Rambla de Lucainena and Rambla de los Feos. Four Quaternary terrace levels have been determined for the Rio Alias and have been age correlated to terrace levels of the Sorbas Basin, using pedogenic calcrete stages. A combined examination of the palaeoterrace distribution and modern river network has identified post sedimentary displacement of the river channel across the Carboneras Fault Zone. Three fault strands have been recognized and lateral and vertical displacement along the strike-slip fault has been demonstrated. Mapping fan delta conglomerates revealed vertical movement since the Late Pliocene. The lateral component, calculated from offset terrace conglomerates, has an estimated strike-slip movement of 14 mm I aˉ¹ since the Upper Pleistocene. This study has established the drainage history of the Carboneras Basin indicating the significance of river capture and river re-routing in sediment supply to the basin. The occurrence of four aggradational periods associated with the terrace levels appear to be climate controlled. However the overall incision is a response to uplift. As this uplift was differential, leading to enhanced regional gradients between sedimentary basins, the uplift was indirectly key to re-routing major sediment transport routes (the main rivers) both within and between sedimentary basins, through river capture.

Estimation of Peak Discharge Quantiles for Selected Annual Exceedance Probabilities in Northeastern Illinois. Illinois Center for Transportation, June 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.36501/0197-9191/16-014.

Abstract:
This report provides two sets of equations for estimating peak discharge quantiles at annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) of 0.50, 0.20, 0.10, 0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005, and 0.002 (recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 years, respectively) for watersheds in Illinois based on annual maximum peak discharge data from 117 watersheds in and near northeastern Illinois. One set of equations was developed through a temporal analysis with a two-step least squares-quantile regression technique that measures the average effect of changes in the urbanization of the watersheds used in the study. The resulting equations can be used to adjust rural peak discharge quantiles for the effect of urbanization, and in this study the equations also were used to adjust the annual maximum peak discharges from the study watersheds to 2010 urbanization conditions. The other set of equations was developed by a spatial analysis. This analysis used generalized least-squares regression to fit the peak discharge quantiles computed from the urbanization-adjusted annual maximum peak discharges from the study watersheds to drainage-basin characteristics. The peak discharge quantiles were computed by using the Expected Moments Algorithm following the removal of potentially influential low floods defined by a multiple Grubbs-Beck test. To improve the quantile estimates, regional skew coefficients were obtained from a newly developed regional skew model in which the skew increases with the urbanized land use fraction. The skew coefficient values for each streamgage were then computed as the variance-weighted average of at-site and regional skew coefficients. The drainage-basin characteristics used as explanatory variables in the spatial analysis include drainage area, the fraction of developed land, the fraction of land with poorly drained soils or likely water, and the basin slope estimated as the ratio of the basin relief to basin perimeter. This report also provides: (1) examples to illustrate the use of the spatial and urbanization-adjustment equations for estimating peak discharge quantiles at ungaged sites and to improve flood-quantile estimates at and near a gaged site; (2) the urbanization-adjusted annual maximum peak discharges and peak discharge quantile estimates at streamgages from 181 watersheds including the 117 study watersheds and 64 additional watersheds in the study region that were originally considered for use in the study but later deemed to be redundant. The urbanization-adjustment equations, spatial regression equations, and peak discharge quantile estimates developed in this study will be made available in the web-based application StreamStats, which provides automated regression-equation solutions for user-selected stream locations. Figures and tables comparing the observed and urbanization-adjusted peak discharge records by streamgage are provided at http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20165050 for download.
