Willows at work in the catchment - Research Brief 11

Natural water catchments extend from mountains to sea, collecting water on the way. The erosive power of flowing water increases during periods of high water runoff, e.g. rainstorms. The heavier the rainfall the greater the water volumes and velocity the greater the erosive forces.
