Fitting and interpretation of sediment rating curves

Journal of Hydrology, 2000
Abstract A large part of the sediment in lowland rivers is transported as wash load. As wash load is a non-capacity load it often is modelled using empirical relations, such as the rating curve technique. Sediment rating curves in the form of a power function are derived for several locations along the river Rhine and its main tributaries, using ...

Estimating suspended sediment loads in the Pearl River Delta region using sediment rating curves

Continental Shelf Research, 2012
Abstract In this study, sediment rating curves are employed to study the variations in relationships between water discharge and suspended sediment concentration based on the recent 50 years of monthly data set in the three major rivers of the Pearl River Delta. Results show that sediment rating parameters vary with time.

Analysis of flow-sediment rating curve hysteresis based on flow and sediment travel time estimations

International Journal of Sediment Research, 2018
Abstract A flow-sediment rating curve is used to describe the relation between flow discharge and suspended-sediment concentration for a specific location. Five types of flow-sediment rating curves - single-valued line, clockwise loop, counterclockwise loop, single-valued line plus loop, and figure eight - were found to rely on the flow and available

Regional rating curve models of suspended sediment transport for Turkey

Earth Science Informatics, 2013
Estimations of annual suspended sediment loads are required for various types of water resources studies. Often estimation of the sediment load is needed for ungauged watersheds. Regionalization methods provide a practical solution to solve such problems.

The role of sediment rating curve development methodology on river load modeling

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2019
The study aims to evaluate the performance of four sediment rating curve development methods, namely (i) simple rating curve, (ii) different ratings for the dry and wet season of the year, (iii) different ratings for the rising and falling limb of the runoff hydrograph, and (iv) broken line interpolation that uses different exponents for two discharge ...

An evaluation of sediment rating curves for estimating suspended sediment concentrations for subsequent flux calculations

Hydrological Processes, 2003
AbstractIn the absence of actual suspended sediment concentration (SSC) measurements, hydrologists have used sediment rating (sediment transport) curves to estimate (predict) SSCs for subsequent flux calculations. Various evaluations of the sediment rating‐curve method were made using data from long‐term, daily sediment‐measuring sites within large ...
