River Discharge and Sediment Transport

River discharge is the volume of water flowing through a river channel per unit time. It is typically measured in cubic meters per second (m^3/s).

Precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration are all major determinants of river discharge. Geology, on the other hand, is not a major determinant of river discharge.

Sediment transport is the process by which sediment is transported by a river. It is typically measured in tons per day (t/d).

River discharge, sediment size, and sediment shape are all major determinants of sediment transport. Vegetation, on the other hand, is not a major determinant of sediment transport.

Deposition is the process by which sediment is deposited by a river. It is typically measured in tons per day (t/d).

River discharge, sediment size, and sediment shape are all major determinants of deposition. Channel slope, on the other hand, is not a major determinant of deposition.

Erosion is the process by which sediment is eroded by a river. It is typically measured in tons per day (t/d).

River discharge, sediment size, and sediment shape are all major determinants of erosion. Vegetation, on the other hand, is not a major determinant of erosion.
