... 1.0 Introduction Aims 1. To find out how channel characteristics such as width, depth, area, efficiency, gradient and bedload change downstream? 2. To find out how flow characteristics, such as velocity and discharge change downstream? Having studied rivers to a great extent at GCSE and A level I have decided to carry out a study on river processes and characteristics. I have chosen the River Brett as the location for my study due to its large drainage basin and varying stream orders, enabling me to carry out a wide ranging investigation. The River Brett is a tributary off the river Stour in Suffolk. The river Brett's total length is 100 km. Hypotheses I plan to investigate the following Hypotheses: 1) All of the river dimensions will increase downstream e.g. width, depth, area and hydraulic radius. 2) All of the flow characteristics will increase downstream such as velocity and discharge. 3) Bedload size will decrease and bedload shape
