A3 -- To What Extent Have Channel
Configurations Changed Through TW9
Preliminary Conclusions —
— Historical channel geometry data are insufficient to
support conclusions regarding a trend in change of
depth/profiles.
— Data show that channel geometry (primarily depth) is
highly variable on a short -term basis (months to one
year). The observed variability greatly exceeds the
magnitude of aggradationl degradation in question.
