The energy based least action principle (LAP) has proven to be very successful for explaining natural phenomena. This paper briefly reviews its historical development and details how, in 3 ways, it governs the behaviour and stability of alluvial
rivers. The paper focuses on the interpretation of how rivers adjust toward conditions that minimize change and maximize operational efficiency. Importantly, this study describes how iterative changes enable systems to achieve such a stable equilibrium.

Using survey data from a restored gravel-bed river, the AA. demonstrate how transformation to the channel-centered coordinate system facilitates interpretation of the variogram, a statistical model of reach-scale spatial structure used in kriging
, and how the choice of a trend model affects the variogram of the residuals from that trend. Similarly, the AA. show how decomposing kriging predictions into their trend and residual components can yield useful information on channel morphology. Cross
