Figure 5.24. Leopold and Wolman's (1957) relation between channel patterns, channel
gradient, and bankfull discharge. Letters B and M identify braided and
meandering reaches of Chippewa River. Letters K and W refer to Kowhai
and Wairau Rivers (Schumm and Beathard 1976).
Figure 5.25. Lane's (1957) relation between channel patterns, channel gradient, and mean
discharge. The regression lines were fitted to data from streams that Lane
classified as highly meandering to braided. Letters B and M identify position of
the braided and meandering reaches of the Chippewa River (Schumm and
Beathard 1976).
