Abstract:As a non-equilibrium open certain structure and function system, the water system formed under action between and environment. In this paper the dissipation structure of geomorphological processes of a watershed is discussed. Attention is paid to the antagonistic action of force and resistance, dynamic and material condition.According to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the principle of the minimum-maximum energy-dissipation rate is set up and proved with calculus oL viriation.
