✦ Synopsis

The cumulative probability distributions for stream order, stream length, contributing area, and energy dissipation per unit length of channel are derived, for an ordered drainage system, from Horton's laws of network composition. It is shown how these distributions can be related to the fractal nature of single rivers and river networks. Finally, it is shown that the structure proposed here for these probability distributions is able to fit the observed frequency distributions, and their deviations from straight lines in a log-log plot.

Hypsometry of drainage basins (areaΒ±elevation analysis) has generally been used to infer the stage of geomorphic development and to study the influence of varying forcing factors (i.e. tectonics, climate, lithology) on topography. However, the scale dependence of hypsometry has generally been neglec

## Abstract The main aim of this study is to discuss the temporal and spatial distributions of the snow water equivalent, snowmelt and discharge in a multibasin scale (Tohoku Region, Japan; covering about 77 000 km^2^), using the heat budget model with the help of remote sensing (satellite images a
