REFLECTION ON RIVERS, RESEARCH, AND ROUSE
The ways in which rivers adjust their hydraulic roughness to accomodate only loosely correlated changes in their water and sediment discharges are discussed. It is argued that the data and computational resources now are at hand to permit development of more inclusive analyses of alluvial-channel flow. A recently developed computer-based predictor for river-flow sediment discharge and friction factor, and an analytical model of flow in river bends are outlined. Reflections on H. Rouse's research and writing conclude the paper.
