Eresma River
The Eresma is a river in central Spain. It flows through Castile and Leon (specifically the provinces of Segovia and Valladolid). It has a total length of 134 km and drains a basin with an area of 2940 km2. Name The name of the river has been derived from the Iberian "Iri-sama" which means "that which surrounds the big city". The city referred to here is not Segovia itself as sometimes thought, but rather the town of Coca located some 50 km away. Geography The Eresma River starts in Valsaín valley of the Sierra de Guadarrama, where the confluence of several streams forms the river. Most of these streams descend from the slopes of mountains like Peñalara, Siete Picos and Montón de Trigo. Its most important tributaries are Moros and the Voltoya that flow northward. After passing through San Ildefonso and Palazuelos, it reaches the city of Segovia, which it surrounds in a closed meander. Eresma river then runs northwest, passing near Hontanares, Los Huertos, ...

Segovia
Segovia ( , , ) is a city in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. It is the capital and most populated municipality of the Province of Segovia. Segovia is in the Inner Plateau (''Meseta central''), near the northern slopes of the Sistema Central range and on a bend of the Eresma river. The city is famous for its historic buildings including three main landmarks: its midtown Roman aqueduct, its cathedral (one of the last ones to be built in Europe following a Gothic style), and the medieval castle, which served as one of the templates for Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle. The city center was declared of World Heritage by UNESCO in 1985. Etymology The name of Segovia is of Celtiberian origin. Although historians have linked its old name to ', the recent discovery of the original Roman city in the nearby village of Saelices discarded this possibility. The name of "Segovia" is mentioned by Livy in the context of the Sertorian War. Under the Romans and Moors, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rivers Of Castile And León
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, a ...

River Regime
The river regime generally describes the character of the typical fluctuations of flow of a river, but can also refer to the mathematical relationship between the river discharge and its width, depth and slope. Thus, "river regime" can describe one of two characteristics of a reach of an alluvial river: * The variability in its discharge throughout the course of a year in response to precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration and drainage basin characteristics (Beckinsale, 1969) * A series of characteristic power-law relationships between discharge and width, depth and slope The latter is described by the fact that the discharge through a river of an approximate rectangular cross-section must, through conservation of mass, equal :Q = \bar b h where Q is the volumetric discharge, \bar is the mean flow velocity, b is the channel width (breadth) and h is the channel depth. Because of this relationship, as discharge increases, depth, width, and/or mean velocity must increase as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Meander
A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves in the channel of a river or other watercourse. It is produced as a watercourse erodes the sediments of an outer, concave bank ( cut bank) and deposits sediments on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar. The result of this coupled erosion and sedimentation is the formation of a sinuous course as the channel migrates back and forth across the axis of a floodplain. The zone within which a meandering stream periodically shifts its channel is known as a meander belt. It typically ranges from 15 to 18 times the width of the channel. Over time, meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering challenges for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges.Neuendorf, K.K.E., J.P.
