What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1The long profile of a river shows how gradient, discharge and sediment size change from source to mouth, and this can be studied using cross sections and Ordnance Survey maps.
  • 2Physical factors such as geology, relief and precipitation, alongside human factors such as urbanisation and deforestation, influence flood risk within a drainage basin.
  • 3Storm hydrographs reveal important information including lag time, peak discharge and the shape of the rising and falling limb, which indicate how quickly a river responds to rainfall.
  • 4Hard engineering strategies such as dams and channelisation aim to control flooding directly, while soft engineering strategies such as floodplain zoning and river restoration work with natural processes.
  • 5Case studies such as the River Tees or the Boscastle floods can be used to explain and evaluate the causes, effects and management of flooding in named locations.
