  4. VI. River Engineering And Geomorphology For Transportation Design A.1. Basic Sediment Transport Theory a)Sediment ContinuityEquation • Storage change = erosion or deposition • Streams naturally balance sediment load • Imbalances cause adjustments to occur • Fixing one problem may cause another Sediment in – Sediment out = Storage Change

  5. VI. River Engineering And Geomorphology For Transportation Design A.1. Basic Sediment Transport Theory c) Sediment Transport Capacity • The amount of sediment a stream can move Basic Principles: • Streams carry as much sediment as they can • Streams deprived of sediment will find some • Streams with excess will lose some • There are several types of sediment transport

  6. VI. River Engineering And Geomorphology For Transportation Design A.1. Basic Sediment Transport Theory c) Sediment Load • Types of Sediment load • Bed-material load • Wash load • Total load • Types of Sediment Movement • Sliding, rolling, saltation, suspension, solution
