River restoration manual: Report RR17 - Recognising channel and floodplain forms

Guidance
Chapter 17 of the River restoration manual
Last updated:

The River restoration manual is a series of guidelines on the nature, rehabilitation and long-term management of waterways in Western Australia. The chapters of the series collectively form the manual. 

This chapter describes local to subcatchment scale channel and floodplain forms. It identifies the factors that influence these forms, and comments on why forms can change over time.

The chapter provides suggestions on how to recognise sedimentary forms in your river, any changes in form, and how to apply this knowledge to improve river health.
