How Can Streams Be Physically Manipulated
1. Alluvial Fans. When a stream leaves an area that is relatively steep and enters one that is almost entirely flat, this is called an alluvial fan. It is shaped like the letter E, and to fully understand what an alluvial fan is, you have to understand how streams work.

How does a river basin behave like a bathtub?

A river basin is the land that water flows across or under on its way to a river. As a bath tub catches all the water that falls within its sides, a river basin sends all the water falling on the sur rounding land into a central river and out to an estuary or the sea.

What are some activities you can do for your river basin to show your stewardship?

Conserve water every day. Take shorter showers, fix leaks & turn off the water when not in use. Don’t pour toxic household chemicals down the drain; take them to a hazardous waste center. Use hardy plants that require little or no watering, fertilizers or pesticides in your yard.
