Part IV - Variable local controls
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2012
Summary
In addition to fixed local controls there are local controls that are variable (Figure 1.2). That is, they shift position through time, as weather conditions generate local floods and vegetation changes. In addition, accidents such as log jams, fires, and landslides can occur at numerous locations within the drainage network.
