Abstract

The test site ranges 13 km down the stream from the source of the river. Geological structure and morphology of the valley are the main factors of the channel formation. Morphological types of channel bed forms created by interaction of fluvial processes and debris flow are described. The spatial distribution of channel morphological types along the studied river reach is shown.
