Stream Order
The stream order or waterbody order is a positive whole number used in geomorphology and hydrology to indicate the level of branching in a river system. There are various approachesKoschitzki, 2.3, pp. 12ff to the topological ordering of rivers or sections of rivers based on their distance from the source ("top down"Weishar, p. 30.) or from the confluence (the point where two rivers merge) or river mouth ("bottom up"Weishar, p. 35.), and their hierarchical position within the river system. As terminology, the words "stream" and "branch" tend to be used rather than "river". Classic stream order The ''classic stream order'', also called '' Hack's stream order'' or ''Gravelius' stream order'', is a "bottom up" hierarchy that allocates the number "1" to the river with its mouth at the sea (the main stem). Stream order is an important aspect of a drainage basin. It is defined as the measure of the position of a stream in the hierarchy of streams. Tributaries are given a number ...
