Hoşap River
The Hoşap River or Güzelsu River () is a river in the Van Province of Turkey. Its catchment area approximately coincides with the Gürpınar District. Geography From its source in the İspiriz Mountains near Başkale on the southeast borders of Van Province, the river tends to the northwest. It is cut by the Zernek Dam in the Gürpınar Plain and feeds into lake Van near Dönemeç. The part of the river flowing out of the dam is also called ''Dönemeç River''. At the end of the river there is the Dönemeç Delta that extends into lake Van. The delta is used by birds during migration and is a breeding area of the endangered White-headed duck and Caspian tern. The river regime of the Hoşap is nival. The lowest flow is 1.3 m³/sec in August, September and October. The highest flow is 12.6 m³/sec in May due to the rains and melting of snow. The total annual flow of the river is 334,106 m³/year. History Historically, the Hoşap River is known as the ''Khoshab'' or ''Anggh'' R ...

Discharge Regime
Discharge regime, flow regime, or hydrological regime (commonly termed river regime, but that term is also used for other measurements) is the long-term pattern of annual changes to a stream's discharge at a particular point. Hence, it shows how the discharge of a stream at that point is expected to change over the year. It is thus the hydrological equivalent of climate. The main factor affecting the regime is climate, along with relief, bedrock, soil and vegetation, as well as human activity. Like general trends can be grouped together into certain named groups, either by what causes them and the part of the year they happen (most classifications) or by the climate in which they most commonly appear (Beckinsale classification). There are many different classifications; however, most of them are localized to a specific area and cannot be used to classify all the rivers of the world. When interpreting such records of discharge, it is important to factor in the timescale over wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
