4. Bibliography of article (pending)

2-28-18: Revise Wiki Subject:

 a. Stream Order

Notes on existing Wiki Stream Order report:

 - Not rated 
 - Needs to add more references in the "See Also" section
         i. Add "See Also" link to "Strahler Number" 

Current Wiki outline for Stream Order Subject: Intro Paragraph (could use heading) 1. Classic order Stream 2. Strahler stream order 3. Shreve stream order 4. Other systems 5. Usage 6. See also 7. References 8. Literature 9. External Links. Diagrams

 - Diagram 1: Classic order stream (File lacks source info; Wiki states "please edit this file's description and provide source")
 - Diagram 2: 

Notes: 1. One link to "Literature" doesn't work ("Rivertool..."). 2. Add new information:

  a. Strahler stream order seems to be universally accepted method for which is reference for GIS-based systems and research.
  a. Characteristics of different groupings of Strahler stream order
      i. Str

3/18/18 Notes: 1. (Stream Order was updated by a user on 3/15/18) 2. Proposed edits: Under the heading "Usage", add note describing additional usage of stream order

   a. Strahler method seems to be universally accepted (citation)
        i. When citing stream order in current hydrology research efforts and journals, Strahler method is assumed basis (citation).
        i. Is basis for Geospatial programs due to "dimensionless" quality of graphic data (citation).
             a) 
   b. Salient stream characteristics based on Strahler's stream order method (citation)
        i. First and second order streams
             a) form in steep slopes 
             b) flow quickly 
             c) have less volume
        ii. First through third order streams 
             a) are headwater streams
             b) are in upper reaches of watershed
             c) 80% of worlds waterways are first through third order
        iii. Fourth through sixth order streams 
             a) are medium streams
             b) less steep
             c) flow slower
             d) have large volumes
   c. Comparison of relative size of major world rivers 
         i. Ohio River is an eighth order stream
         ii. Mississippi is a tenth order stream
         iii. Amazon is 12th order stream
