Contents:

Front Cover; Morphometry of Drainage Basins; Copyright Page; Contents; Preface; List of main symbols employed; Brief history; Chapter I. The drainage basin as a system unit; Chapter II. Formation of channel networks; Chapter III. Systems of stream classification; Chapter IV. Drainage basin area; Chapter V. Perimeter of drainage basins; Chapter VI. Basin shape; Chapter VII. River length; Chapter VIII. Stream and drainage densities; Chapter IX. Vertical distances; Chapter X. Slope; Chapter XI. Hypsometric curves and longitudinal stream profiles.

Summary: The book describes the drainage basin as a system unit resulting from the interaction between runoff and topography - a lengthy process of evolution that occurs according to well-defined laws. It aims not to quantify the agents which created the present forms, but to analyse the forms themselves in order to establish the laws according to which they develop, and to define a series of inter-relationships between morphometrical parameters and river discharge.
