The nival regime is modified where additional sources of water supply or significant storage mechanisms alter the streamflow pattern. |

This southern area has to resort to irrigation in summer when nival reserves are exhausted and rainfall rare or occasional. |
|
The principal seasonal flow pattern exhibited by most rivers is the subarctic nival regime, in which snowmelt, often accompanied by river ice breakup, generates high flows. |
|
Rivers of the Mackenzie Basin exhibit several seasonal flow patterns that include the nival, proglacial, wetland, prolacustrine, and regulated flow regimes. |
|
Not only do former residents of the nival zone, the area above about 2,000 meters, move up, but former alpine plants ascend to the nival region. |
|
Study sites will include the 30 biosphere reserves identified up to now, all of which are of sufficient altitude to comprise a nival zone offering permanent snow cover and an alpine zone. |
|
A subarctic nival regime is evident throughout the Deh Cho, where the spring snowmelt is the primary source of water for the region and annual peak flows usually occur in springtime. |

Russian gaming company Nival has recently joined the impressive roster of clients and Hasbro has called upon Glispa to handle the launch of its new card game. |
