Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.

A scroll plain occurs where a river meanders across an area with a very low gradient, usually with a fairly continuous discharge. In addition to meanders, scroll plains are also characterised by many oxbow lakes.

Examples of scroll plains

The upper reaches of the Taieri River form a stunning scroll plain near Paerau (pictures:[1] [2] [3]).
