Hydrological regime,morphological features and natural territorial complexes of the Irrawaddy River Delta (Myanmar)

Hydrological and morphological features of the multiple-branched tidal delta of the Irrawaddy River are discussed. Close attention is given to the impact of the interaction of seasonal variations of the river flow and tides on the delta regime. The results of analysis of the deltaic natural complexes using space photographs are presented. The issues of rational use and conservation of the natural resources of the delta are studied.
