Sediment Analysis
• Purpose: To determine suspended sediment trends.
• Analysis includes plotting total suspended sediment load and double mass curves (cumulative sediment vs.
cumulative water discharge)

1) Alluvial rivers are dynamic systems changing mostly during floods
2) River management requires monitoring of hydraulics and sedimentation
3) River management involves stakeholders and requires laws and regulations
