Description :
Downstream increases in width, depth, cross-section area and channel capacity were related to catchment area, a surrogate for discharge, at two alluvial levels in both Bellinger valleys. These relationships did not continue in tidal reaches where flatter energy gradients and larger floodplain storages prevail, and channel capacities are lower. Irregularities in relations probably reflect spatial variations in adjustments to changing regimes caused by different perimeter conditions.
