The installation and evolution of the Mula fluvial system was associated with the construction of six main fluvial terraces during four principal stages of drainage development: (1) Early aggradation (Late Pliocene/Early Pleistocene); (2) Dissection of up to 60 m, installing the Palaeo-Mula Valley (Early-Middle Pleistocene); (3) Large scale Late Pleistocene (pre Wurm) agradation infilling the palaeovalley of stage 2; (4) Holocene dissection of some 36 m down to the present day channel. This study highlights the valley of the combining sedimentological and morphological perspectives and indicates the rapid response a semi-arid fluvial system can effect in response to external controls
