Generally:
Channel is complex with diverse pool and riffle shapes; undercut banks and LWD functions (LWD interacts with flow of water and sedimentation). Pools make up between one-half and one-third of channel length. Pools becoming shallower by degradation of riffle crests. Pools have depths between 0.5 to 0.75 m Riffles are coarser as coarse sediment is eroded. LWD influences bed and bank conditions. |
