The length of flowing channel in a small clay basin in southeast England was observed once per week over a period of 1 year. The main controls of the total length of flowing channel were found to be the effective rainfall during the previous week and the length of stream flowing at the time of the previous week's observation. Variations in the lengths of streams of different orders were studied, first‐order streams being found to vary most.
