Land use and Landscape Along a River
Upper Course
Farming (Non-Arable)
Mainly sheep due to poor soil, poor weather and steep landscape
making machine work difficult
Hydro-Electric Power (HEP)
High rainfall and steep slopes makes fast flowing water which can be used to generate power
Reserviors
High rainfall can provide water supplies for towns and cities downstream
V-shaped valleys make building dams and deep reservoirs easy
:star: Example: Cow Green Reservoir :star:
:star: High Force Waterfall :star:
Landscape
Steep, marshy hillsides
Narrow streams and confluences
V-shaped valley
Waterfalls and gorges
Middle Course
Settlements
Towns built along river due to flat land which is easily farmed
:star: Example: Yarm :star:
Argiculture
Soil is better and land is flatter so machinery can be used easier
Landscape
Wide, flat valleys
Meanders
Ox-box lakes
Deeper and wider river channel
Lower Course
Larger Settlements
Trade links due to being next to sea
:star: Example: Middlesbrough :star:
Industry
:star: Such as chemical works in Middlesbrough :star:
Transport
Wide, river estuary makes it easy for ships to get in and out of the settlements to trade
Agriculture
Rich, fertile, alluvial soil makes arable farming easier
Landscape
Very wide, flat-bottomed valleys
Deltas
Floodplains
