Prediction of bed load via suspended sediment load using soft computing methods
Appropriate and acceptable prediction of bed load being carried by streams is vitally important for water resources quantity and quality studies. Although measuring the rate of bed load in situ is the most consistent method, it is very expensive and cannot be conducted for as many streams as the measurement of suspended sediment load. Therefore, in this study the role of suspended load on bedlo...
متن کاملBias and variance of some estimators of suspended sediment load
Walling & Webb (1981) made empirical comparisons amongst a number of methods for the estimation of suspended sediment loads. This paper presents expressions for the means and variances of three of the estimates compared by Walling & Webb, on the assumption that suspended sediment concentration, c, and mean daily discharge, q, are bivariate lognormally distributed. With this assumption, not inco...
متن کاملThe effect of properties of sediment type on the relationship between suspended sediment concentration and radiance
A laboratory experiment was designed to determine the spectral characteristics of different types of sediment suspended in water in the visible and near infrared wavelengths (0.45-0.9 /xm) using a fourchannel radiometer. Field collected sediments were resuspended in water to produce different concentration levels for the measurement of radiance. Spectral measurements of turbid water showed a di...
متن کاملEstablishing the Relationship between Turbidity and Total Suspended Sediment Concentration
This laboratory work examines the relationship between turbidity (NTU) and total suspended sediment concentration (TSS, mg/L) for a Cecil Ap soil, a common Southeastern Piedmont soil type. We show a 1:1 correlation between NTU and TSS for the silt and clay fractions, but a smaller ratio for clay and bulk-soil samples. These results suggest that NTU measurements can be used to estimate sediment ...
متن کاملTurbidity Threshold Sampling for Suspended Sediment Load Estimation
Abstract: The paper discusses an automated procedure for measuring turbidity and sampling suspended sediment. The basic equipment consists of a programmable data logger, an in situ turbidimeter, a pumping sampler, and a stage-measuring device. The data logger program employs turbidity to govern sample collection during each transport event. Mounting configurations and housings for the turbidime...
