Bank-full cross-sectional area – The area of the bank-full channel measured along a vertical plane
perpendicular to the stream to determine channel form.
Bank-full discharge – The streamflow at which channel maintenance and movement of bedload
sediment are most effective. The bank-full discharge corresponds to bank-full stage.

the stream.
