RIVER RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS

River Research and Applications , previously published as Regulated Rivers: Research and Management (1987-2001), is an international journal dedicated to the promotion of basic and applied scientific research on rivers. The journal publishes original scientific and technical papers on biological, ecological, geomorphological, hydrological, engineering and geographical aspects related to rivers in both the developed and developing world. Papers showing how basic studies and new science can be of use in applied problems associated with river management, regulation and restoration are encouraged as is interdisciplinary research concerned directly or indirectly with river management problems.The journal also publishes concept papers (see ARENA Section) short communications, regional and thematic review articles, and book reviews. Special thematic issues are an important feature.ENVIRONMENTSRivers, impounded reaches, riparian zones, floodplains, estuaries and deltas in all biogeographic realms and artificial canals.SUBJECTSHydrology (flow regimes, floods, droughts, instream flows, surface/groundwater interaction); water quality (physical, geo-chemical and biochemical processes); channel changes, erosion and sedimentation; flora and fauna (including micro-organisms, algae, macrophytes, invertebrates, fish and other vertebrates).MANAGEMENTImpact assessment, environmental monitoring and modelling, integrated river-basin management, and restoration and conservation of running-water and associated (e.g. floodplain) ecosystems and environmental change (e.g. land use, climate, water demand). Reservoir operation and release strategies and instream flow methodologies, surface and groundwater abstractions and inter-basin transfers, water-quality control, biotic indices, pest and aquatic weed control, fisheries, and river engineering for ecological management, channel maintenance and fishway design.

《河流研究与应用》(1987-2001)是一本致力于促进河流基础和应用科学研究的国际期刊。该杂志出版有关发达国家和发展中国家河流的生物、生态、地貌、水文、工程和地理方面的原始科学和技术论文。与直接或间接涉及河流管理问题的跨学科研究一样，鼓励基础研究和新科学如何在与河流管理、调节和恢复有关的应用问题中发挥作用。该杂志还出版概念论文(见竞技场部分)，短期通讯，区域和主题评论文章，和书评。专题问题是一个重要的特点。环境河流、被封锁的河段、河岸地带、洪泛区、河口和三角洲，以及所有生物地理领域和人工运河。主题水文(水流状况、洪水、干旱、流入水流、地表水/地下水相互作用);水质(物理、地球化学及生化过程);河道变化、侵蚀和沉积;动植物(包括微生物、藻类、大型植物、无脊椎动物、鱼类和其他脊椎动物)。管理影响评估、环境监测和建模、河流流域综合管理、恢复和保护运行用水和相关(如洪泛区)生态系统和环境变化(如土地利用、气候、水需求)。水库作业和释放策略、河流内流方法、地表水和地下水的抽取和流域间转移、水质控制、生物指数、害虫和水生杂草控制、渔业、河流生态管理工程、河道维护和鱼道设计。
