Abstract / Description
Note quite heavy vegetative cover on slopes extending almost into the basin proper. The channel shows a high gradient as well as being narrow and constricted in many places due to resisting strata cutting through by the sediment. Note alluvial cone at drainage 4, which has blocked drainage of its own channel causing a drainage along its hillside flank. The cone is on the right side of the channel near the upper portion of the picture below basin.
