Description :
The AA.used geomorphic interpretation and hydraulic models embedded in the location-for-time model to determine how flow is displaced on the Ovens River. Meander extension and, to a lesser extent, vertical accretion were found to reduce the energy expended in channels and drive the changes that displace flow onto the floodplain. This displaced flow potentially initiates an avulsion, the scouring of a new channel.
