Estimating Sediment Budget at a River Basin Scale Using a Process-Based Distributed Modelling Approach

Kabir, Md; Dutta, Dushmanta; Hironaka, Sadayuki - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 12, pp. 4143-4160

The paper presents a process-based distributed modelling approach for estimating sediment budget at a river basin scale with partitions of suspended and bed loads by simulating sediment loads and their interactions. In this approach, a river basin is represented by hillslopes and a network of...
