The stream order or waterbody order is a positive whole number used in geomorphology and hydrology to indicate the level of branching in a river system.. There are various approaches [1] to the topological ordering of rivers or sections of rivers based on their distance from the source ("top down" [2]) or from the confluence (the point where two rivers merge) or river mouth ("bottom up" [3 ...
It flows through Skośnica canal into West Oder and through Regalica into Dąbie Lake in the delta of the Oder river. The river flows through the Lower Oder Valley forming, along with the Western Oder (Polish: Odra Zachodnia), an area called Międzyodrze, part of the Lower Odra Valley Landscape Park. Międzyodrze area is traversed by a network ...
A diagram of a possible river with the Strahler number of each tributary labeled. In hydrology, a stream order is a positive integer used to describe the level of river branching in a drainage basin. [18] Several systems of stream order exist, one of which is the Strahler number. In this system, the first tributaries of a river are 1st order ...
A stream of the first order is a stream which does not have any other recurring or perennial stream feeding into it. When two first-order streams come together, they form a second-order stream. When two second-order streams come together, they form a third-order stream.
Poland's prime minister said Friday that “huge amounts of chemical waste” were probably dumped intentionally into the Oder River, which runs along the border with Germany, causing ...
The terms river morphology and its synonym stream morphology are used to describe the shapes of river channels and how they change in shape and direction over time. The morphology of a river channel is a function of a number of processes and environmental conditions, including the composition and erodibility of the bed and banks (e.g., sand, clay, bedrock); erosion comes from the power and ...
