Photo: N.Z. Forest Service (J. H. G. Johns, A.R.P.S.) A typical river channel in coarse alluvium. The behaviour of a river depends on the interplay of bed material of various sizes, the gradient, the amount of water, the curvature of bends, and so on. By good engineering- practices, the height of flood waters can be lowered, and the movement of alluvial material can be lessened. (Ngaruroro River, Hawke’s Bay.)
