The best way to count the amount of Oxbow lakes that there will be in the future would be to count the meanders. This is because an oxbow lake is formed when a meander (a bend in the river) gets so windy that the sides link together. The water will take the shortest route possible and the unused patch of river will dry up. This probably doesn't help much but you should do a bit more research...
An oxbow is a severe bend in a river channel, producing a 'U' shape and passing on a very narrow slip of country between the two sets. Many times, erosion will wear through this narrow strip and the form of the river changes, giving a 'U' shaped or oxbow lake or a dry river bottom.

Oh, dude, that's an oxbow lake! It forms when a meandering river decides to take a shortcut and leaves behind a cool, boomerang-shaped body of water. It's like nature's way of saying, "I'm gonna do my own thing, thanks."
