Are you able to easy see the difference between Laminar and Turbulent flows just by looking at a river or stream?

yes one would probably be able to see the difference between Laminar and Turbulent flows. Turbulent is most likely found in rivers w/ high velocity. See page 282-283 in text for more info.
