     "text": "Issue: The need for stream mapping\n\nThe physical shape of streams and floodplains can provide information about how water, sediment, and other matter moves through the landscape. Streams can have deep channels (tall streambanks) disconnected from the floodplain or wide shallow channels that easily spill over the banks into the floodplain during high flows. Mapping where streams fall along this gradient can improve our understanding of the processes that shape rivers, as well as help resource managers target management actions on the landscape."
