Rosgen Classification Exercise
Exercise ObjectiveTo apply Rosgen classification of Reaches and determine Reach type based on fluvial geomorphologic characteristics.
Exercise Process
A single threaded channel has an Entrenchment Ratio greater than 2.2, has a width to depth ratio less than 12, has Sinuosity greater than 1.5, has slopes less than 0.02, and has a sand channel material. What is its likely Rosgen Classification? A single threaded channel has an Entrenchment Ratio less than 1.4, has a width to depth ratio greater than 12, has Sinuosity greater than 1.2, has slopes less than 0.02, and has a cobble channel material.
