Quantitative study of fluvial landscapes. Case study in Madrid, Spain
AbstractThe quantitative approach to landscape description has been a point of growing concern in the area of fluvial geomorphology as a tool for land-use planning.On the basis of morphometric indexes and variables commonly used to describe the geometry of fluvial landforms, a methodology has been established to study the existing relationships between river morphology and geomorphic processes. Through multivariate analysis of morphometric data of 35 selected drainage basins, five basin groups are defined. These groups are described by their specific environmental elements and the processes operating in each of them.Finally, this description allowed us to establish the relationships which justify the use of fluvial geometry as a method for interpreting erosion, hydrology and environmental factors of the territory, as well as evaluating the risks introduced by human activities on the fluvial networks.
