Active bank caving in a 3 m high outer meander
bank on the river Severn, Shropshire. Note its fine-grained,
floodplain sediments, compared with coarse sediment on the
point bar carried here from erosion upstream.

Riffle and a downstream hydraulic drop, indicated
by the broken water surface to the right foreground, in the
River Dove, Staffordshire. This riffle reflects slope-channel
sediment connectivity below the accelerated (visitor-
generated) erosion scar on the far slope.
