What is a Bankfull Width?
Bankfull width is the maximum width the stream attains and is typically marked by a change in vegetation, topography, or texture of sediment (Herrelson and others 1994).
Why use bankfull width in hydrology?
The dominant channel forming discharge is often assumed to be the bankfull flow. For example Knighton (1998) argued that "since it seems reasonable to suppose that river channels are adjusted on average to a flow which just fills the available cross-section, dominant discharge has been equated with bankfull flow, thereby giving it additional morphogenetic significance." The dominant discharge is supposed to give the same effects as the whole range of discharges occurring (Brandt, 2000). --- Brandt, S.A., 2000: Classification of geomorphological effects downstream of dams. Catena, vol. 40(4), pp. 375-401. doi:10.1016/S0341-8162(00)00093-X Knighton, D., 1998. Fluvial Forms and Processes: A New Perspective. Arnold, London, xv+383 pp.
What is the difference between the topographic floodplain and the hydrologic floodplain?
Hydrologic floodplain, the land adjacent to the baseflow channel residing below bankfull elevation. It is inundated about two years out of three. Not every stream corridor has a hydrologic floodplain.Topographic floodplain, the land adjacent to the channel including the hydrologic floodplain and other lands up to an elevation based on the elevation reached by a flood peak of a given frequency; for example, the 1-percent (100 year) floodplain.Another way to look at it, in an incising channel, that is to say that the river is cutting into valley, will create two floodplain benches, the lower and narrow one the hydrologic floodplain and the higher and much wider one the topographical floodplain.
Alternative four letter word for dscharge?
I think the answer is EMIT
What does bankfull width depend on?
It depends how far along the river course it is. In theory as you move further down the river's course the bankfull width should increase.

Could dscharge during pregnancy be harmful to baby?
That depends on the color, how often it happens and how much passes at one time.

What has the author Sean M Lawlor written?
Sean M. Lawlor has written: 'Determination of channel-morphology characteristics, bankfull discharge, and various design-peak discharges in western Montana' -- subject(s): River channels, Stream measurements
Why is a river more efficient at bankfull?
there is less friction caused by the bottom of the river bed and banks by sediment and rocks etc. velocities are said to be fastest at the surface of the river because of this less amount of friction acting upon it. it is also fastest at the centre of the river where it is the deepest.
If your ex fiance owes you a large sum of money and files for bankruptcy can he include you in that bankruptcy and after he is discharged can you sue him for the money?
No, that's the point of filing bankruptcy. Suing him would be in violation ofthe permanent stay against creditors including you. He can have the bankruptcy court stop the suit and allow him attorney's fees and even damages.If you had grounds for objecting to dscharge, you should have filed an objection with the court.
