Conclusion of Change 4: Sediment – Group 2

Conclusion:
                -      Putting sediment in encouraged channelization
                                       -        Formation of unstable meanders
                                       -        Stream Piracy occurred – the stream started on the northern side 
                                   of the table and migrated/pirated its way southward.

      Ideas if we start over with the stream table:
  -          Adjust bedding angle from 2 degrees to 1.
  -          Lower and calculate the actual flow rate
  -          Increase size of sediment container/feed hopper to decrease
                  maintenance times
  -          Raise base level a bit from its current lowered state
