500. Flow in Open Channele
Example 15] 4 ide alluvial channel has a bed material of median size
0.8 mm. The channel has a longitudinal slope of 5 x 10 The depth and velocity in the
channel were measured as 1.6 m and 0.90 mis respectively. Estimate the (a) bed load,
(6) total load, and (c) suspended load per metre width of this channel.
Solution (a) Bed load, 4,
Since the channels is wide R=y,— 1.60 m.

11.4.1 Measurement and Estimation of Sediment Load.
A stream flowing in a watershed transports not only the runoff that is produced in the
catchment but also the erosion products out of the watershed by means of its flow.
‘The total sediment load is transported out the catchment by the stream in three com-
ponents depending upon their origin as wash load, suspended load and bed load.
In connection with the measurement, the following essential properties of differ-
ent types of sediment loads in a stream are worth noting:
+ Wash load is generally composed of fine grained soils of very small fall
velocity.
+ The suspended load particles move considerably long distances before settling on the
bed and sides and any measurement of suspended load also includes wash load.
