Description :
This paper analyzes the variation in flood power both at-a-station and downstream in a basin of differing lithologies, and discusses the geologic and geomorphic controls on flood power. Floodplain width influences these local and general controls, and will directly and indirectly control flood power within the drainage network through its control on the rates of change of several hydraulic variables during discharge increases.
