Aggregates used to line [[swales]] or otherwise dissipate energy (e.g. in [[forebays]])should have high angularity to increase the permissible shear stress applied by the flow of water. However, in some surface landscaped applications there may be a desire to use a rounded aggregate such as 'river rock' for aesthetic reasons.
