Abstract

The solid flow carried by a river is a dynamic overlapping contribution of the upstream catchment and the contribution due to the sediment entrainment effect of the liquid flow by river bed, respectively the deposit of sediment in suspension. The solids content of surface water bodies is related to the physical, morphological and hydro-climate characteristics of the basin to which they belong. The paper presents the assessment of alluvial sources in relation to the processes manifested in the river bed specific an flood event.
