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 one-half to one-third of channel length. Pool depth is reduced by degradation of riffle crests (pool depth approximately 0.25 to 1 m). Riffle texture is coarse as sediment is eroded. LWD influences bed and bank conditions. |
