Excesses in stream discharge or stream-sediment load are managed by the stream changing dependent variables,such as gradient and channel pattern.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excesses in stream discharge or sediment load can cause changes in the stream channel, including changes in gradient and channel pattern, as the stream adjusts and tries to create a new equilibrium state. Therefore, these variables can be managed by the stream itself, rather than through external management interventions.
