- Stream power originally derived by R. A. Bagnold in the 1960s is the amount of energy the water in a river or stream is exerting on the sides and bottom of the river. Stream power is the result of multiplying the density of the water, the acceleration of the water due to gravity, the volume of water flowing through the river, and the slope of that water. There are many forms of the stream power formula with varying utilities such as comparing rivers of various widths or quantify the energy required to move sediment of a certain size. Stream power is closely related to various other criterion such as stream competency and shear stress. Stream power is a valuable measurement for hydrologists and geomorphologist tackling sediment transport issues as well as for civil engineers using it in the planning and construction of roads, bridges, dams, and culverts.
