Abstract
The effect on the profile of shortening a stretch of river by one or more cutoffs is analyzed graphically. The method is based on the observation that river slope and particle characteristics of bed material are closely related. The constructed profile is that towards which it trends as a result of the rectification, but which it may never attain due to geologic and other unforeseen conditions. The time to reach this trend profile is still unpredictable. The method illustrates the consequences of the interplay of cutoffs.
