His (the eight-tailed dragon’s) eyes are like red ground cherries; his one body has eight heads and eight tails. On his body grow moss and cypress and cryptomeria trees. His length is such that he spans eight valleys and eight mountain peaks. Then Paya-susa-no-wo-no-mikotounsheathed the sword ten hands long which he was wearing at his side, and hacked the dragon to pieces, so that the Pi river ...

In 2010–2012, the hydrogeological model (HM) of Latvia (LAMO) was developed by the scientists of Riga Technical University (RTU). LAMO comprises geological and hydrogeological data provided by the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre (LEGMC) for the active groundwater zone of Latvia. In 2013–2015, LAMO was notably upgraded. The density of hydrographical network (rivers, lakes) wa...

Many ecological restoration projects have been carried out in Southwest China; however, changes vegetation cover the dry valleys of China rarely reported. With their unique characteristics high temperatures and low humidity, these considerably lower than neighboring areas, making them main sediment sources rivers China. Thus, it is imperative to understand China’s valleys, as well effects preci...

River valleys are considered natural corridors for migration of plant species; however, there is a lack studies confirming higher colonisation rates species in these areas. We compare richness between ancient and recent forests (developed during after the nineteenth century) those located river valley with outside valley. hypothesise that, close to river, will be associated forests, thus indica...

The Hohokam, an irrigation-based society in the American South West, used the river valleys of the Salt and Gila Rivers between 500 and 1500 AD to grow their crops. Such irrigated crops are linking human agency, water sources and the general natural environment. In order to grow crops, water available through rain and river flows needs to be diverted to land where the plants are grown. With a f...

Abstract This study focuses on mechanisms of shelf valley bathymetry affecting the spread riverine freshwater in nearshore region. In context Changjiang River, a numerical model is used with different no-tide idealized configurations to simulate development unforced river plumes over sloping bottom, and without off estuary mouth. All simulated are surface-trapped continuously growing bulges nea...
