Stream channel depth relative to width - enumeration

identifier http://anzsoil.org/def/au/asls/landform/Channel-depth-width
definition Channel depth and width refer to the dimensions of a landform that is dominated by channelled stream flow. The limit of channelled stream flow dominance must be identified before width or depth can be estimated. Depth is taken from the top of the stream bank down to the average height of the line following the deepest part of the channel.
The distinction between stream bank and hillslope or scarp according to dominant process requires particular care where streams are incised, especially if they are cut into terraces that could be mistaken for flood plains.

For detailed studies, keep records of width and depth measurements. In other surveys, use the following classes of relative depth.
