- Abstract
The article presents a study on the longitudinal distributions of river flood power using the methodology called combined automated flood, elevation and stream power (CAFES). The methodology which has international applicability for understanding basin-scale hydraulics, erosion, and sediment transport was used in quantifying downstream changes in a river flood power. The data from the NEXTMap Britain digital elevation model was used to calculate flood power, which were linked with the median annual flood. The problems encountered in testing Lawler's downstream change models including the difficulty in defining downstream trends, along with the results for five rivers are discussed.
