Hydromorphological features of the Ukrainian Carpathians Rivers

Abstract

The article is devoted to an analysis of relations of riverbed form’s linear parameters with bed forming water discharge for types of riverbed process, commonly encountered on the Ukrainian Carpathian's rivers. The hydrodynamics conditions which determined the shape of medium forms and macro forms are considered. Hydraulic criterion for Carpathians Rivers
which allows identifying the type of riverbed process is suggested. The results of the processing of in-situ surveys on Carpathians rivers have demonstrated the existence of close relations between linear parameters of riverbed forms and values of channel-forming water discharges.
