The Changing Sediment Load of the Mekong River
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2008The sediment loads of many of the world's major rivers have changed significantly in recent years due to land-use change, reservoir construction, and other human impacts on their drainage basins. For many rivers, the loads have decreased, whereas for others, they have increased.

The correction for sediment loading on the seafloor
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1983Available measurements of sediment velocity and density indicate that a factor of 600 m s−1 of two‐way sediment reflection time will correct seafloor depth to yield basement depth in the absence of sediment loading. This simple linear relation is derived from the results of six deep drill holes in abyssal sediments of the North and South Atlantic ...

Journal of Hydrology, 2007
Summary Most sediment loads are estimated from sediment-rating curves created by performing a linear least-square regression on log-transformed sediment load–discharge data. When log-transformed sediment load–discharge data plots result in concave or convex curves, such regressions under- or overestimate sediment loads.

Interannual variation of suspended sediment load and sediment yield in an alpine catchment
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2003Abstract The results are described of 16 years operation of a measuring station for the automatic recording of water discharge, bed load and suspended sediment transport in the Rio Cordon catchment, a small alpine basin (5 km2) located in northeastern Italy.

Sediment Load: Concentration and Transport
2017Amount of suspended sediment in water is measured by collecting water samples from different depths during high and low tide . Rate of transportation of bed load has been computed using well accepted empirical equations. Suspended sediment amount ranges between 3.1 and 5.05 gm/l in non-monsoon season and 4.97 and 6.5 gm/l in monsoon season.

The Total Sediment Load of Streams
Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1958Relationships proposed give both quantity and quality of total, suspended, and bed loads as functions of stream and sediment characteristics; in process of empirically defining relationships, encouraging correlation of laboratory and field data was obtained.

Suspended Load Transport of Bio-sediment
2020The previous chapter introduced the bedload transport of bio-sediment, i.e. bio-sediment transported near the bed layer. Under certain flow conditions, bio-sediment will become suspended into the overlying water layer and be transported as suspended load.

Evaluation of Sediment Load in a Natural River
Water International, 2007Abstract In this paper, an empirical formula for prediction of the river's suspended and bed load is presented. Utilizing the data obtained from the Vanyar guaging station on Adji-chai river in Tabriz, Iran, and by means of regression analysis on the relationship between the suspended load and water discharge, two empirical equations with high ...
