- Spatial hierarchy of basin, stream segment, stream reach, and microhabitat
- Form for conducting a basin characterization
- Form for conducting a segment characterization
- Diagram of the three main geomorphic channel units:
(A) pool--a part of the stream with reduced velocity, commonly with
water deeper than surrounding areas; (B) riffle--a part of the stream
where the water flows swiftly over completely or partially submerged
obstructions to produce surface agitation; and (C) run--a slow
moving, relatively shallow body of water with moderately low
velocities and little or no surface turbulence
- Form for conducting a reach characterization
- Example of locations of transects within a reach
- Diagram of the relative position of geomorphic features along
streams
