Competence Competence id the maximum size (calibre) of load a river is capable of transporting whereas capacity refers to the total volume of sediment a river can transport. At low velocity only fine particles may be transported (clays‚ silt and fine sands). Large-calibre material can be moved when velocity increases. Because the maximum particle mass that can be moved increases with the sixth power of velocity‚ when discharge levels are high‚ for example during a flood‚ much larger boulders can

Geography Rivers 1. The speed and volume of a river varies from place to place along a river’s course because of many reasons. In the upper course‚ the volume of water is low as there are few tributaries. In comparison‚ the volume of water in the middle course is higher as there are more tributaries supplying water to the main river channel. The volume of water in the lower course is the highest as the lower course has the most tributaries. However‚ many other factors will also affect the

River velocity Measuring the velocity allows us to determine the speed‚ at which the river travels. If a high quantity of rain falls close to the source of the river there will be a greater amount of water travelling down stream and as a result the volume of water will be travelling at a higher speed. In the section of the river harbourne that that this measurement was taken in a high river velocity can indicate that Harbertonford is susceptible to flooding‚ a hazard that the flood defences

The Po River The Po River is located in Italy. The river flows from the Cottain Alps through many cities and empties into the Adriatic Sea. Although the Po is a very beautiful river it threatens many cities because of its spring and fall floods. The flood water tears away ranks and bridges and destroys fields and towns. To help control the flood waters they build dams. Two good things about these dams where that the slowed water flow and the created hydroelectric energy. To travel by boat on
