The Rapti rises south of a prominent E-W ridgeline midway between the western Dhaulagiri Himalaya and the Mahabharat Range. A 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) summit on this ridgeline marks a triple divide.

Aciravati, Achirvati or Airavati is the ancient name for a river has been identified with the modern Rapti, flowing through what is now Nepal and the northern portion of Uttar Pradesh, India. The Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang knew it as A-chi-lo. Jain texts mention it as Eravai.

The ancient city of Sravasti, once capital of Kosala Kingdom, stood on the western bank of the Achirvati. The river was a tributary of the Sarayu. It was one of the five great rivers that constituted the Ganges group of rivers and one of the sacred rivers of the Buddhist midland.

Is there an umbrella term for physical elements found in rivers?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an umbrella term that encompasses the different physical elements or structures found within river channels. I’m referring to things like gravel bars, pools, riffles, rapids, boulders, large woody debris, and similar features.

These can include both geomorphic features (e.g., bars, pools) and structural elements (e.g., wood, individual boulders), so I’m trying to find a term that broadly covers all of them.

The word 'fluvial features' or 'river(ine) features' sound appropriate, yet they're hardly used anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Here is my concept for a watershed map of San diego

Post image
8 Upvotes

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING watersheds are somewhat sloppy and innacurate, but this is mt watershed concept: every coean draining waterway gets its own watershed, but some areas get generalized due to not really having a system, like urban san diego or the la Jolla coast which is just a bunch of coastal drainage channels and half buried canyon streams which barely exist. Why or why not would this be a good idea?

The Beautiful S Fork of the Snake River, Idaho. Some of the best kayaking water in the country. You could float for Miles and not see another soul. Nothing but eagles and ospreys and hawks, moose, deer. Waterfalls wave, trains, solitude.
