A streambed or stream bed is the bottom of a stream or river and is confined within a channel, or the banks of the waterway. [1] Usually, the bed does not contain terrestrial (land) vegetation and instead supports different types of aquatic vegetation (aquatic plant), depending on the type of streambed material and water velocity. Streambeds ...
