Riverbed formationThe general fluvial processes that work to form a riverbed and produce the characteristic pattern of either meandering, braided, or straight are reviewed. A method for quantification of river pattern and correlation, with the basic hydraulic characteristics of discharge and slope, is presented. Additional characteristics of a river system may be deduced from high-quality photography and imagery obtained from either aircraft or space platforms.
