Most streams of the area are intermittent except Tikur-wuha‚ which is the principal collector of streams found west of the town and downstream makes Alwuha River.

Rural catchments are slightly harder to define‚ as today very few large rivers do not have some form of urban development within their catchments area. In this essay a river that is still in a predominantly rural catchment will be discussed even if there are areas of urban land within the catchment. Humans

River valley with a V-shaped cross-section. Such valleys are usually found near the source of a river‚ where the steeper gradient means that there is a great deal of corrasion (grinding away by rock particles) along the stream bed‚ and erosion cuts downwards more than it does sideways. However‚ a V-shaped valley may also be formed in the lower course of a river when its powers of downward erosion become renewed by a fall in sea level‚ a rise in land level‚ or the capture of another river (see rejuvenation)
