Description :
In volcanic areas of Idaho, Oregon and Montana, a number of perennial stream emerge from single springs or zones of springs. The AA. investigate the geomorphic setting, planform, and topography of the spring-dominated channels; the size and nature of the bed and bank material; and the frequency and duration of flows. The geomorphic and hydrologic attributes of the spring-dominated channels were compared with those of runoff-dominated channels. Finally, they examine whether the distinctive hydrology of spring-dominated streams was reflected in the fluvial geomorphology of these streams.
