Figure 9.8. Photos, hydrographs and topography for the Gurk (left) and the Buwe (right) regions in Austria. Note the tortuous drainage network
of the Gurk and the efficient drainage network in the Buwe. The different drainage networks have evolved as a result of interplay between
catchment and climate processes at the landscape evolution time scale, modulated by geology. The hydrograph shown for the Gurk region is for
the Glan at Zollfeld with an area of 432 km², mean elevation of 734 m, mean annual precipitation of 859 mm. The corresponding values for the
Buwe region (Raab at Mitterdorf) are 184 km², 749 m, 878 mm. From Gaál et al. (2012). Photos: (left) R. Graimann; (right) Stadtgemeinde
