Bank-Full Discharge, Bank-Full Stage The discharge or stage that achieves the greatest amount of work through time, and therefore is the dominant control of stream geometry and pattern. Wolman & Miller (1960) Hypothesis. Moderate flows do more total work than the sum of infrequent High-Magnitude floods. Bank-full flow recurs ~1.1 to 2 yr. Concept valid for most streams, but not all!
