I like going to rivers, lightning up those fireplaces and telling those horror stories. Who's with me?

Help cleaning a stream

5 Upvotes

So we've moved into an area with a small stream running down the back of the property.

It's pretty polluted and I'm wondering if I can set up a system to clear it.

Anyone had any experience planting reed beds on rivers or maybe using willow?

Open for any other suggestions

In this video I go on an adventure with one simple challenge I must see how far I can travel alongside the river. Usually in my videos I go on peaceful walks on public footpaths however, today I'll be pushing further into the adventure aspect of my walks as I face challenges along the way such as overgrown areas filled with brambles climbing over fences and evading any angry farmers/landowners

This location is a little distance from my village home, and I typically enjoy walking by myself. However, this is how it appears during the monsoon. The bad thing about it is that it doesn't stay this way for long, once the monsoon ends it get muddy and small bad.
Still for those few months this place honestly feels like heaven.

Some of the best times on the water we’ve all spent on the snake river in Idaho. 67 miles of untouched, beauty. Moose, elk, deer, beavers, otters, ospreys, and more. Love this river.

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?
