They are more prominent in semi- and arid climates simply because of the lack of vegetative cover that masks their fan shapes in more humid areas. From both engineering and geological viewpoints, alluvial fans present particular fluvial and sedimentation hazards in semi- and arid regions because episodic rainfall-runoff events can result in debris, mud, and fluvial flows through complex and, in some cases, migratory ch 606 $aAlluvial fans 606 $aFlood control 606 $aArid regions 615 0$aAlluvial fans. 615 0$aFlood control. 615 0$aArid regions. 676 $a627.4 702 $aFrench$b Richard H. 702 $aMiller$b Julianne J. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818763903321 996 $aFlood hazard identification and mitigation in semi- and arid environments$94106502 997 $aUNINA
