Definition1/14
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry.
Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater
the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for
carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the
stream's capacity also decreases.
