A stream with a very low hydraulic radius implies that such a stream has: A) More friction and less velocity B) Less friction and more velocity C) More friction and more velocity D) Less friction and

Here are the solutions to the questions:

a) Question 1: A stream with a very low hydraulic radius implies that such a stream has:
A low hydraulic radius means there is a relatively large wetted perimeter compared to the cross-sectional area of the water. This increases the contact between the water and the channel bed/banks, leading to more friction and consequently, less velocity.
The correct option is A.

$$\boxed{\text{A) More friction and less velocity}}$$

b) Question 2: The following are all drainage basin characteristics except one. Isolate the odd characteristic.
Drainage basin characteristics refer to the physical attributes of the basin itself. Precipitation input and duration (C) is an external input
