In science we did a stream table flood. The stream table wash us all away with the amazing conclusion. For this experiment we needed a flood cup, ruler, tray with a hole at the end, a right angled wood or a fat book, collecting cup and sand. Lay the sand so it is 20'' flat and make an incline. Then put the ruler so that it can hold the flood cup. After that put water in the flood cup, so that the tray would flood. Put water in the flood cup and wait for it to make a delta or to get weathered. Let the water collect in the cup. My conclusion is when we made a bigger hole the "flood" water went faster from the flood cup and if you had didn't have a right angled wood, then the water would go no where.
