Riverbed

Japanese: 河床 - かしょう
Riverbed
The bed of a river that is covered with water. It usually has a gentler slope from upstream to downstream. Generally, the upstream part is made up of large and small pebbles, the middle part is made up of gravel, and the downstream part is made up of fine sand. However, this varies depending on the riverbed slope, flow rate, and geology of the river basin.
