Comments:
Extremely dynamic system with fine sediments and extensive erosion, E to C STD due to overwidening and reduced sinuosity. Old oxbows in surrounding fields were not easily observable during fieldwork but are apparent on aerials, particularly 1996 vintage. Reach includes site of WRP's highest long-term bacteria readings.
