    Measurements of the width and depth of the channel were obtained by the use of a measuring tape and a metre ruler. The lengths of some fluvial landforms were also measured in addition to the degree of slope along the valley sides. An analysis of the sediment found in the river channel was done at two of the four localities. The samples were selected at random and for each‚ the axes were measured using a ruler. Their shapes and types were also established. The velocity of the river was also measured by
