        abstract = {The concept of bankfull discharge as a channel forming flow is not appropriate for all channels, such as those with bedrock banks or braided channels or those which are known to be actively degrading or aggrading. It may be applied in some channels without a flood-plain or well-marked bank top by reference to vegetation lines, such as the boundary on a rock bank between the clean or slightly moss-covered rock and perennial grasses and shrubs, which can tolerate only infrequent and brief periods of inundation. Channel cross-section shape and dimensions may vary markedly over short distances. It is observed the gravel river sediment discharge with existing empirical regime relationships. The aim of the research is to give a mathematical model about the stable cross-section geometry and to determine a model for the stable slope of an alluvial channel which is in nature seldom stable. In an alluvial channel to reach an equilibrium condition, it changes its plane geometry until to have a stable condition in plane configuration. There are three different parameters in plan configuration about river behavior: width, depth and slope.},
