Some Thoughts on the Future of Running-water Research, with Particular Reference to Australia

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Monographiae Biologicae ((MOBI,volume 61))

Abstract

Various topics concerning running waters are discussed that are believed likely soon to experience considerable advances in knowledge. Topics discussed are (a) details of flow patterns, (b) hyporheal water, (c) drift, and (d) the fate of organic debris.
