Description :
This paper evaluates the three dimensional distribution of the red sedimentary unit in a type example arid alluvial channel, analyses it sedimentologic and pedologic attributes, and offers an explanation as to its genesis and function with regard to the flood generation problem. The implications of the red unit, if proved to be a consistent diagnostic feature of arid stream channels, may be far reaching also in terms of applications to problems of arid engineering and water resources.
