the factors that influence how much a work a river can do (25) The work that a river does is erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The amount of work a river can do is dependent on the energy it has and this energy is determined by many factors. The study of water flow in a river channel is known as hydraulics. Hydraulic geometry is the study of the relationships that exist within river channels that ultimately determine how much work the river will be able to carry out. Width‚ depth‚ velocity

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
