The river stage characterized by slow-flowing water, very shallow depths, and banks with low gentle slopes is known as the "bedload" or "meandering" stage. In this stage, sediment is often deposited, leading to the formation of sandbars and islands. The gentle gradient allows for the river to meander, creating wide curves and bends. This stage is typically found in the lower reaches of a river or in floodplains.
A levee is a buildup of sediment deposited along the channel of a river that keeps the river inside its banks. It acts as a natural barrier that prevents the river from overflowing and causing flooding in surrounding areas.
The mature stage of river development is characterized by flat flood plains where the river meanders and deposits sediment. In this stage, the river has a large volume of water and is more stable, leading to the creation of wide flood plains.
A youthful stream is swift flowing, has sharper contours and the banks would be steep, whereas a mature stream is more mellowed in pace, is slow flowing, and is wider than the river upstream. The banks wouls be more silted and have smaller gravel, which is not the case of the youthful stream.

It is built on the banks of the Thames river.
The sides are known as the river bank or river banks.
The part of a river that is underwater when the river overflows its banks is called the flood plain.
The mature stage of river development is characterized by flat floodplains. During this stage, the river has carved a wide valley and deposited sediment along its banks, creating a broad, flat floodplain that may experience periodic flooding.
