The line down the center of the main CHANNEL of a stream.
The line representing the deepest part of a river or channel.
The deepest part of a stream's channel.
A sinuous imaginary line following the deepest part of a stream.
_ Generally defined as the center line of a river channel that (where uncontrolled) is constantly changing as a function of flow, sedimentation, and erosion processes, and other physical properties.
Line which follows the deepest part of a stream.
the middle of the chief navigable channel of a waterway that forms the boundary line between states
a line following the lowest points of a valley
a basic step in understanding the physical characteristics of a stream, Ariane explains
The line extending down a channel that follows the lowest elevation of the bed.
The demarcation of a border by reference to the deepest point of a dividing watercourse.
The path of a line connecting the lowest points of cross-sections along a streambed.
Longitudinal outline/trace/survey of a deepest part of riverbed from source to mouth (upstream/downstream). Line of steepest descent along the Stream.
(1) The lowest thread along the axial part of a valley or stream channel. (2) A subsurface, ground-water stream percolating beneath and in the general direction of a surface stream course or valley. (3) The middle, chief, or deepest part of a navigable channel or waterway.
The line defining the lowest points along the length of a riverbed or valley.
The line of maximum depth in a stream. The thalweg is the part that has the maximum velocity and causes cutbanks and channel migration.
path of maximum depth in a river or streams; this normally follows a meandering pattern back and forth across the stream
line followed by a stream in a valley
Line of deepest water in a stream channel as seen from above. Normally associated with the zone of greatest velocity in the stream.
The thread of maximum flow through the cross-section of a flowing stream. It moves from one bank toward the other bank in meandering channels.
A line connecting the deepest points along a stream channel.
Thalweg (IPA: ; a German word compounded from Thal — nowadays spelled Tal — meaning valley, and Weg, meaning way) is a term adopted into English usage for geography and geomorphology. It signifies the line of greatest slope along the bottom of a valley, i.e. a line drawn through the lowest points of a valley in its downward slope. It thus marks the natural direction (the profile) of a watercourse.
