چکیده

A conceptual basin model of the instantaneous unit sediment graph was developed for sediment graph prediction from arid upland basins by routing mobilized sediments through a series of linear reservoirs. The sediment graphs generated by convolution of the instantaneous unit sediment graph compared reasonably well with the observed ones for four representative arid upland sub-basins in the Luni basin, India. The mobilized sediment during a storm was related to effective precipitation and the parameters of the model were estimated from observed events. The model can be applied to ungauged flow events through parameterization. Mise en modèle du débit de sédiments en suspension dans les bassins de hautes terres arides Résumé On a mis au point un modèle conceptuel de bassin du diagramme unitaire instantané de transport de sédiments pour la prévision du diagramme de transport de sédiments mis en mouvement par une série de réservoirs linéaires. Le diagramme de débits de sédiments engendré par convolution du diagramme unitaire instante de transport de sédiments est nettement comparable avec ceux qui ont été observés sur quatre sous bassins représentatifs des hautes terres arides du bassin du Luni (Inde). Les sédiments mis en mouvement au cours d'un orage ont été mis en relation avec la précipitation efficace et les paramètres du modèle ont été estimés d'après les événements observés. Le modèle peut être appliqué à des événements crues non jaugés grâce à la paramétrisation.

Estimating river suspended sediment yield using MLP neural network in arid and semi-arid basins Case study: Bar River, Neyshaboor, Iran

Abstract Erosion and sedimentation are the most complicated problems in hydrodynamic which are very important in water-related projects of arid and semi-arid basins. For this reason, the presence of suitable methods for good estimation of suspended sediment load of rivers is very valuable. Solving hydrodynamic equations related to these phenomenons and access to a mathematical-conceptual mode...

Reduction of stream sediment concentration by a riparian buffer: filtering of road runoff in disturbed headwater basins of montane mainland southeast Asia.

We determined the extent that a riparian buffer reduces stream suspended sediment concentrations by filtering road runoff during 18 rain events in a 2.5-ha, multi-use watershed in northern Thailand. The dominant buffer species was the perennial sedge Fimbristylis aphylla Zoll. ex Steud. (Cyperaceae). We monitored stream sediment concentration for situations where road runoff either flowed into ...

Temporal Changes of Effective Discharge for Suspended Sediments Transport in Korkorsar Watershed

Suspended sediment transport by rivers is important in water quality of cities and villages fed by certain drainage basins. On the other hand, the effective discharge refers to discharge that transports the most sediment over long time and controls the shape of river bed. Therefore, determination of effective discharge for suspended sediment transport and analysis the variation of effective dis...

Controls on Suspended Sediment Concentrations and Turbidity within a Reforested, Southern Appalachian Headwater Basin

Water quality data collected between 2007 and 2014 within the Allen Creek Watershed were used to: (1) determine the factors controlling the temporal variations in turbidity and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) within a representative, high-gradient headwater basin in the Southern Appalachians; and (2) assess the recovery of water quality following extensive logging operations during the e...

A New Hydrological Method for Estimating the River Bed and Drainage Basin Components of Erosion and Suspended Sediment Fluxes in River Basins

This paper uses the results of river suspended sediment flux (SSF) analysis to propose a new hydrological method for quantitatively estimating the river bed and drainage basin (sheet erosion, rill and gully erosion) components of total erosion intensity in river basins. The suggested method is based on the establishment of the functional power connection between mean monthly water discharges (W...
