Comments:
Upper end above bridge is partly bedrock controlled. Runs through developments of downtown Manchester. Segment B is a subreach due to the natural change in valley slope and confinement by glacial deposits. Segment B is an E-Type Stream while Segment A is a lower slope C-Type Stream with beaver influence on flow. Run-of-river dam does not appear to be having a major impact on reach hydrology.
