Research on the spatial structure of desert tourism flow based on ecological digital footprints: a case study of Ningxia by Baoling Dong, Xiaowei Guo, Qiang Luo

“…The results indicate that (1) the high rate of visitors in Ningxia is closely related to the grade value of the scenic spots and the popularity of cities, and the most popular scenic spots are concentrated in the Ningxia section of the Yellow River Basin. (2) Hot desert scenic spots with historical, cultural, and urban development characteristics have greater advantages and competitiveness; these spots can better connect with less popular tourism nodes and serve as breakthrough points for the rational allocation of tourism resources. (3) The tourism flow network among scenic spots in Ningxia is relatively loose, with an imbalance in the tourism network among these spots. (4) The spatial tourism flow presents a pattern of superposition and coincidence of multiple triangular structures. …”

The Al-Abiadh Valley Drainage Basin Environmental Aspects Extraction Using Quantitatively Morphometric Analyses of Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission Data by Jawad et al.

“…The flood hazard is absent at the basin mouth because the valley runoff takes a long time to reach the sink (Al-Razaza Lake), located in the middle part of Iraq, with a low flow peak due to the high permeability soil, the arid to semi-arid climate, and the low annual precipitation rate.          The region studied is an alluvial basin with similar geological structural solidity in most places. …”
