A graded stream is in an equilibrium condition where it can transport the average load of sediment it receives. It means that the stream can carry the same amount of sediment it receives from the surrounding slopes and inflowing channels, without either eroding the bed or depositing sediments on the channel bed. Gully is a narrow and steep-sided channel formed by the erosion of the soil, while meandering and alluvial rivers are not necessarily in equilibrium and can either erode or deposit sediments. A rill is a small and shallow channel formed by the erosion of the soil and is not significant enough to be classified as a stream.
