Horton laws for hydraulic–geometric variables and their scaling exponents in self-similar Tokunaga river networks

An analytical theory is developed that obtains Horton laws for six hydraulic–geometric (H–G) variables (stream discharge <i>Q</i>, width <i>W</i>, depth <i>D</i>, velocity <i>U</i>, slope <i>S</i>, and friction <i>n'</i>) i...
