Incision is detachment-limited when the river can carry away more sediment than it receives, so that its rate of lowering is set by how fast it detaches bedrock from its bed: the stream-power law applies. It is transport-limited when the river carries all the sediment it can, so that its bed is lowered only where the transport capacity grows downstream, at the rate set by the divergence of the sediment flux.
