5 | | Usually , river width is connected to river discharge with a square-root link (Leopold et Maddock 1953; Andrews 1984; Julien and Wargadalam 1995; Jiongxin 2004; Lee and Julien 2006) which is itself proportional to the streaming surface. Thornton et al. (2007) found a direct square-root relationship between river width and upstream streaming surface. |

The river discharge is more or less proportional to streaming surface although allometric relationships shown some regional variations (Benyahya et al., 2009). Thornton et al. (2007) found a direct square-root relationship between river width and upstream streaming surface. |
