Abstract
The most evident characteristic of streams in general is their lack of stability. Constantly changing from month to month, from season to season, stream conditions offer a highly unstable and complicated pattern of interdependent influences, each of which has its role to play for good or ill. Man has merely accentuated the instability of streams by destroying the ground cover of the land.—J. G. Needham.
