Generally:
Step-pool morphology is absent due to infilling of pools and expansion of bars. Bars are present along entire reach; both side and mid-channel bars have elevated surfaces—bars are as high as surrounding bank tops. Stream flow is shallow and rapid, and channel widening is evident. LWD oriented primarily parallel to channel. Channel bed often de-waters during low flow periods. |
