Fluvial Systems

Fluvial systems are networks of streams and rivers that transport water, sediment, and nutrients across land. They shape the landscape by eroding soil, depositing materials, and creating features like valleys and floodplains. These systems are dynamic, responding to rainfall, land use, and natural processes, and are essential for distributing freshwater, supporting ecosystems, and shaping the Earth's surface over time. Understanding fluvial systems helps in managing water resources, preventing floods, and conserving environmental health.
