Description :
This study sought to develop a better understanding of channel types in mountainous watersheds with an emphasis placed on step-pool reaches. Specifically the AA. sought to determine the stream gradients associated with various types of self-formed channel architecture (pool-riffle, plane bed, step-pool and cascades) and to develop relationships which could be used in predicting step-pool geometry and in understanding formative mechanisms.
