The present lecture notes cover a first course in th~ most common types of stratified flows encountered in Environ mental Hydraulics. Most of the flows are buoyancy flows, i.e. currents in which gravity acts on small density differences. Part I presents the basic concepts of stagnant, densit- stratified water, and of flowing non-miscible stratified fluids. The similarity to the (presumed) well-known open channel flow, subject to a reduced gravity, is illustrated. Part II treats the miscible density stratified flows. In outlining the governing equations, the strong coupling between the turbulence (the mixing) and the mean flow is emphasized. The presentation and discussions of the basic gover...
This book is an up-to-date review of research and practice on the use of vegetation for slope stabilization and control of surface erosion caused by water and wind. From a basic understanding of the principles and practices of vegetation growth and establishment, it describes how vegetation can be treated as an engineering material and used to solve erosion and slope stability problems.

This volume contains abstracts and papers presented at the second Danish Sahel Workshop helld at Sandbjerg Manor in 1990. The papers cover natural and social sciences, such as improved utilisation of tree legumes, degradations and desertification, afforestation techniques and problems, ecological monitoring and remote sensing techniques, animal counting in Senegal, the political economy of agricultural development in Burkina Faso, research and development in the Red Sea area, the economic potential of the semi-arid areas, as well as accounts of the research sponsored by DANIDA, integrated projects in Mali and Senegal and the Danish activities with control of parasitic diseases in Africa.
