Flowing water.  vitally important geologically, biologically, historically and culturally.  contain only 0.001% of the total amount of the worlds water.

 This will occur when streams receive more water than their channels can hold,  i.e. when stream discharge is greater than stream capacity.  Streams.

River Terminology 10/17/00. Erosion The break up and transport of earth materials by moving natural agents. Natural agents: Glaciers, Wind and Moving.

Weathering and Erosion. MOVING WATER What do we call the movement of water? –Water Cycle (I hope you didn’t forget) How do you think the water cycle causes.

Watersheds This is an area where rain joins together to flow into streams, rivers, lakes, or wetlands. This is the drainage basin. The watershed boundary.

A river system is made up of a main stream and tributaries – Tributary: a stream that flows into a lake or into a larger stream.

Rivers Almost half of the water that falls to the Earth’s surface eventually ends up in a stream or river (runoff), where it travels overland to the.

Transpiration Similar to evaporation, this is the loss of water through plants. – Pores in leaves (stomata) are opened to release oxygen and water vapor.

Flow Regime Stream Flowing: Flowing water present at time of assessment. Stream Flowing: Flowing water present at time of assessment. Interstitial Flow with Isolated Pools: Flowing water present in isolated pools, which remain connected by subsurface flows. Dye testing may be needed to document pool connection. Interstitial Flow with Isolated Pools: Flowing water present in isolated pools, which remain connected by subsurface flows. Dye testing may be needed to document pool connection. Moist Channel, Isolated Pools, No Flow: Moist substrate and/or water present in isolated pools, Moist Channel, Isolated Pools, No Flow: Moist substrate and/or water present in isolated pools, but no visual evidence that the water in the pools is flowing. Dry Channel, No Water: A completely dry channel for the entire 200 ft (61 m) stream reach. Dry Channel, No Water: A completely dry channel for the entire 200 ft (61 m) stream reach.

Stream Gradient

Glossary Gradient- Ratio of descent to length of a stream. Gradient- Ratio of descent to length of a stream. Floodplains - Flat land bordering a river and made up of alluvium (sand, silt, and clay) deposited during floods. When a river overflows, the floodplain is covered with water.

Tributary - A stream that flows to a larger stream or other body of water. Tributary - A stream that flows to a larger stream or other body of water. Sinuosity - A bending or curving shape or movement. Sinuosity - A bending or curving shape or movement. Rise – The drop in elevation of a stream over a given distance (run) Rise – The drop in elevation of a stream over a given distance (run) Run – The length of a stream used to calculate rise. Run – The length of a stream used to calculate rise. Meander - To define the margin of (a body of water) with a meander line. Meander - To define the margin of (a body of water) with a meander line.
