APPENDICES

Summary

The aim of these appendices is to provide some theoretical background to parts of the thematic chapters and to provide supplementary information and comment on aspects related to the perception of alluvial environments. Appendix 1 provides the theory behind chapter 3 and palaeohydrology, whilst appendix 2 provides the theoretical background to flood frequency analysis, an important method used frequently throughout the book. Appendix 3 includes material which whilst, not central to the book, does illustrate and elaborate the discussions of the human use and perceptions of alluvial environments in chapters 8 and 9.
