Abstract

Echo-sounder measurements on an unstable gravel river in Alberta, Canada, indicate that minor bed forms develop on the river bed during high flow conditions and high bed-load transport. The wavelength of these bed forms appears to decrease with an increase in flow intensity and depth, for relatively small values of depth to grain size. Air photographs of this river reveal that the major bed forms (bars) are crescent-shaped with horns pointing downstream
