Abstract
Morphometric characteristics of the flood-plain are not integral variables and cannot adequately reflect features of the flood-plain morphological structure. We used the angle between the geometric axes of channel and flood-plain as a measure of the angle between the dynamic axes of the channel and flood-plain flows. It enables us to calculate the hydraulic characteristics of the channel and flood-plain flows. This morphometric parameter, however, cannot characterize the features of the floodplain morphology in sufficient details. Therefore, further research is needed to develop new parameters, which would characterize the morphology of the flood-plains not only in transverse sections but also in longitudinal ranges.
