River velocity Measuring the velocity allows us to determine the speed‚ at which the river travels. If a high quantity of rain falls close to the source of the river there will be a greater amount of water travelling down stream and as a result the volume of water will be travelling at a higher speed. In the section of the river harbourne that that this measurement was taken in a high river velocity can indicate that Harbertonford is susceptible to flooding‚ a hazard that the flood defences

Fieldtrip focus 1. Introduction Hypothesis We know every river starts its journey from its source. In the upper course of the river‚ the channel is at a high above its base level i.e. its mouth. Thus the gradient is high. Due to the height‚ it has a lot of potential energy. So it uses this energy to reach its base level. So the process mainly at work is vertical erosion. Further it has got a lot of interlocking spurs. There is less lateral erosion taking place. So the bed load is composed of
