Overall Conclusions
*We found evidence for erosion creating meanders in the cross section line graphs and also in the cross section velocity graphs. They showed us that the outside bend of a meander was deeper and faster flowing, therefore there must be a large amount of erosion. The inside bend was shallow and had slow flowing water which indicated that deposition must be taking place here.
*We also found that there was more erosion as you move away from the source of the river when we analysed the Golden Clough and Grindsbrook bed load and found it was smaller at Grindsbrook because it had been exposed to more erosion as it was further away from the source.

Overall Limitations
*Human error
*Imprecise equipment
*Need to have the same people measuring for consistency

Overall Reliability
REMEMBER there is a big relationship between the methods we chose, the results we got and the quality of conclusions given.
The methods were sound, but the execution of them was variable, therefore we can be relatively confident that our conclusions can be reliable.
