Data collected from stable alluvial rivers on Great Plains of Western United States and on Riverine Plain of southeastern Australia are used to demonstrate that channel width, depth, shape, meander wavelength, sinuosity and gradient are significantly related to quantity of water and to type of sediment load moving through these channels; geologic and historic examples of river metamorphosis are used to support empirical relations and to form basis for deductions concerning long-term reaction of river system to man-induced changes of hydrologic regimen.
