cross-sectional measurements cannot be done at short interval along the river Explanation: I think this is saying that the scross-sectional measurements cannot be done at as short an interval as they would like along the length of the river due to financial constraints. For instance, they are probably taking a measurement at every 10km along the length of the river, whereas they would like to do it at every 1km. |

...a precise cross-sectional span analysis cannot be undertaken. Explanation: I think your interpretation is correct, Steven. I interpret your sentence as: However, with problems of the (high) costs involved in surveying, the actual situation is that a precise cross-sectional span analysis cannot be undertaken. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1752-1688... …Cross-sectional and longitudinal survey data from gated and unpaged streams were used to compute channel dimension and profile information.
