Abstract. Although now over 100 years old, the classification of climate originally formulated by Wladimir Köppen and modified his collaborators successors, is still in widespread use. It widely used teaching school undergraduate courses on climate. also regular use researchers across a range disciplines as basis for climatic regionalisation variables assessing output global models. Here we have produced new map using Köppen-Geiger system based large data set long-term monthly precipitation...

Summary 1. An Index of Stream Condition (ISC) has been developed to assist broad scale management waterways by providing an integrated measure their environmental condition. 2. The ISC provides scores for five components stream condition: (i) hydrology (based on change in volume and seasonality flow from natural conditions); (ii) physical form bank stability, bed erosion or aggradation, influence artificial barriers, abundance origin coarse woody debris); (iii) streamside zone types plants;...
This project had two goals: to explain variation in residential water consumption and evaluate methods of encouraging residents reduce their consumption. Survey data for both studies were collected by mail questionnaire early 1991, figures recorded between June August that year. In Study 1 (n = 264) a three‐variable regression model (number residents, clothes washing machine loads, property value) accounted 60% the variance. Attitudes, habits values very poor predictors 2 =226) households...
We introduce the river wave concept: a simple, holistic model that unifies ecosystem concepts. The concept proposes flow can be conceptualized as series of waves varying in shape, amplitude, wavelength, and frequency, traveling longitudinally laterally; position on determines source organic production or inputs storage, transformation, transport material energy; existing concepts explain phenomena at different positions wave. hypothesizes that, troughs waves, local autochthonous...
Research into the role of catchment vegetation within hydrologic cycle has a long history in literature. Relationships between type and evapotranspiration runoff were primarily assessed through paired studies during 20th century. Results from over 200 around world have been reported Two constraints on utilizing results wider domain that areas studied are generally (1) small (<10 km 2 ) (2) narrow range climate types. The majority located USA (∼47%) Australia (∼27%) experience mainly...
Evaporation plays a key role in the hydrology of catchment. World‐wide actual terrestrial evaporation is approximately two third precipitation. focus this study which we describe historical developments models for estimating from standard meteorological data. Although Aristotle and Descartes made early contributions to understanding evaporation, Perrault credited with having first experimental measurement about 1674 though fact what he measured was sublimation by recording loss weight block...
Summary 1. Droughts are not easily defined other than by culturally driven judgements about the extent and nature of impact. Natural ecosystems adapted to magnitude frequency dry periods these instrumental in controlling long term functioning systems. 2. In unregulated rivers, low flows derived from water long‐term storage catchment, commonly as shallow groundwater. Four types flow sequences evident for representative rivers each seven regime zones Australia an arid zone stream: perennial...
Abstract Channel avulsion occurred on the Thomson River in Victoria, Australia, 1952 along a 12 km length of valley. A comparison old and new channels reveals considerable differences channel characteristics. The was perched above floodplain an alluvial ridge such that when bankfull capacity exceeded, floodwaters concentrated lowest part some distance away. This is where formed. It incised with larger longer meander wavelength than also shorter steeper. subject to floodflows more variable...
