Discovery showed that some of the rivers in Lee's Ferry area run on bedrocks while some are on the alluvium,based on geomorphology,the different kinds of channel characteristics can influence whether these rivers run on bed rock or alluvium. By analyzing the velocity,discharge,width and depth,hydraulic radius and comparing the different channel characteristics of rivers in other areas with Lee's Ferry,it is observed that the channel discharge,velocity and the hydraulic radius play an important role in controlling the transport-limited river and these factors can be inferred to be correct even for all the river channels in Arizona.
