A stream is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions and flows down slope along a clearly defined path, called a channel. Thus, streams.

Lake Aldwell ~ 2.98 million m 3 Lake Mills ~ million m 3

2.29 m = 2.8 cm

Research hypotheses The greater the magnitude of the drop in baselevel, a. The greater the incision and lateral adjustment that will occur within the original delta area b. The more rapidly sediment will erode from the delta surface c. The greater the total volume of original delta sediment will be eroded

Dam

Conclusions 1 Volumes and rates of original delta erosion increase with, -central incisional channels -increasing magnitudes of removal

Conclusions 2 Beyond 3x C, relationships less clear, -peak rates and volumes very high during very early stages of removal -increasing channel lengths d/s of original delta may represent negative feedback between original delta erosion and delta progradation
