Average sediment load is 54 x 106 m3.

Found in valleys and deltas of rivers, especially those with high sediment load.

As a result they do not experience the kind of spring and summer flood pulse with heavy sediment loads.

The large sediment loads are partly due to the extensive land improvements upstreams.

Replacement gravel has been trapped in the sediment load behind the dams.

The annual suspended sediment load is about 430 million tons.

Rates of breakdown increase with increased nutrients, sediment load and dissolved organic carbon.

Braided streams occur in rivers with high slope and/or large sediment load.

Some authors have attempted formulations for the total sediment load carried in water.

The sediment load carried by the water will be entrained in the accreted ice.
