The results of this study indicate that human activities (e.g., dams) have substantially altered sediment delivery patterns and river-estuary interactions at multiple timescales.
The drainage pattern and river length profiles show that the coastal province evolved differently than the interior plateau.
We examined the tectonic geomorphology of the Romanian Carpathians focusing on regional and local topographic setting, drainage pattern, and river long profiles.
The alterations of physical (flow rate and pattern, and river stage) and biological habitat (dietary sources and abundance) are attributed to the changes in fish composition and abundance (Gao et al. 2010; Dudgeon 2011; Zhang et al. 2014).
Engineers must exercise caution when applying the link between river patterns and in-channel characteristics to river restoration efforts.

Better understanding of the patterns and processes in river systems requires a broader landscape approach that goes beyond the traditional linear and longitudinal focus.
This article concentrates on the distribution, drainage patterns, and geometry of river systems; its coverage of the latter includes a discussion of channel patterns and such related features as waterfalls.
