Across 2. In these large river mouths sand and silt is deposited offshore in top, fore and bottom sets. 3. These are created to prevent flooding but do not always work as planned. 6. a smaller river running into a bigger one 7. South African city that gets its water via a pipeline from Lesotho 9. part of the water cycle involving plants and earth stopping the water flow 11. This is one of the opportunities along rivers like the Nile, with agriculture, flood control and storage 12. Gift of the Nile 14. If harder it erodes more slowly than softer types. 16. one of the productive ways in which people use land and water 17. This happens through hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution and can be vertical or lateral. 18. These help predict where and when destructive floods may happen. 19. This, shale and sandstone are the rock types that undeprpin the Niagara falls. 22. In a river these eventually lead to the formation of oxbow lakes with an island in the middle. 24. This occurs when material carried by the river falls to the bed as it slows down. 25. This varies with width and depth. 27. This refers to the total amount of water flowing while competence refers to the potential of the river to erode a valley. 29. the discharge of a river at its maximum after heavy rain 30. ???????? of rivers include loss of houses, transport routes, injuries and death. 31. this characteristic of slopes can affect the impact of floods

Down 1. town at the heart of the Thames flooding in 2014 4. Whether hard or soft this can help prevent floods. 5. This involves solution, suspension, saltation and traction loads. 8. Little swirling pebbles can cause these in a rocky river bed. 10. places in a catchment where water is held for a while 13. country which has the Ganges river. 15. Mountains where the Colorado river rises in the US. 20. Large town on the river Usk in Wales 21. amount of water flowing in a channel calculated by multiplying cross sectional area by flow rate 23. if heavy this smooths valley edges 26. A flood????? is made up mostly of fine material deposited by a river as it slows down. 28. Apart from erosion, geology and climate this can also determine the shape of valleys
