Resumen del Recurso
Factors affecting the energy of rivers
Gradient
Steep gradient, makes the velocity faster
Gentle gradient, makes the velocity slower
How rough the channel is
If there is lots of obstacles in the river, then the river will be slower
The less obstacles the faster the rover can travel
Size of basin
If the basin is bigger, then there is a larger discharge to transport
If the basin is small, then there is a smaller discharge to transport
Presence of vegetation
More vegetation, means that there is a Interception delay for percolation to reach the river, which leads to a low volume of discharge
Permeability of rocks
High permeability means that there is a high volume of overland flow
Low permeability means that there is a low volume of overland flow
Climate
If there is a monsoon season/ Wet season then there will be a higher volume of water
If there is a high amount of growth in plants, then there will be a low volume
Hydraulic Radius
Wetted Perimeter (WP)
More contact with the wetted perimeter, will cause more friction which will lead to the velocity slowing down
CSA/WP
A high hydraulic radius means that the river will be more effective as less energy is used to overcome friction
Cross sectional area (CSA)
