This document discusses river processes and landforms. It describes Bradshaw's model of river characteristics and the different landforms seen in the upper, middle, and lower courses of a river. These include V-shaped valleys, waterfalls, rapids, and pot holes in the upper course; meanders, flood plains, and levees in the middle course; and ox-bow lakes in the lower course. The document also mentions braided channels, types of deltas, opportunities and hazards presented by rivers, and river management. A bibliography with relevant websites is included at the end.
