The premise of time series analysis is that the instream physical habitat at a given time and place can be calculated as a function of the streamflow using the equation HA(t) = PH(Q(t)) where PH() is the physical habitat-versus-streamflow function for a given life stage and species of aquatic organism or river activity; Q(t) is the streamflow at time t; and HA(t) is the habitat area for time t. The physical habitat represents the space in a river that can be used as habitat by a given species and life stage of fish. The assumptions and calculation procedures used to determine the physical habitat are described in Stainaker (1979). The Time Series Library (TSLIB) of programs has been developed to analyze the pattern of time-varying events. The TSLIB system can be considered a decision support system with the decision being quantification of an instream flow need, an instream flow water right, or a minimum flow requirement for operation of a water resource project. The general concept of a decision support system using TSLIB is shown in Fig. 1.1; the objective is to choose between water resource management alternatives or to modify the operation of an existing water resource system.

This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes and deals with river basins, which are the focus of many hydraulic engineering and hydrogeological studies worldwide. Such studies examine river systems as both a resource of the fluvial environment, and also explore river-related hazards and risks. The contributions of researchers from different disciplines focus on: surface-groundwater exchanges, stream flow, stream erosion, river morphology and management, sediment transport regimes, debris flows, evaluation of water resources, dam operation and hydropower generation, flood risks and flood control, stream pollution and water quality management. The contributions include case studies for advancing field monitoring techniques, improving modeling and assessment of rivers and studies contributing to better management plans and policies for the river environment and water resources. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: environment, processes, issues and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are: Climate Change and Engineering Geology. Landslide Processes. River Basins, Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources. Marine and Coastal Processes. Urban Geology, Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation. Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects. Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology. Preservation of Cultural Heritage.
