Abstract:

    In the present research, changes in sediment regime in two statistical periods of "natural flow" and "modified / debris flow" were evaluated. In order to determine the significant difference between two mentioned periods (1966-1992) and (1993-2015), the significance test was used. In order to determine the most suitable method of Sediment Rating Curve and correction coefficients, the results of simple linear, bilinear, midline rating curve methods as well as the mentioned rating curves with correction coefficients including correction coefficients of FAO, MVUE, QMLE and Smearing methods were evaluated. The results showed that since 1993, with the onset of large floods, the sediment discharge regime with a high intensity and increasing trend is out of normal and in the period 2011 to 2015, the highest rate of sediment transfer in the form of debris flow has occurred. Among the methods, the one-line curve method and the smearing correction factor for the natural sediment regime period (1966-1992) and the two-line curve method and the smearing correction coefficient for the modified sediment regime / debris flow period (1993-2015) are more accurate in estimating sediment flow. On the other hand, the one-line curve method without taking into account the correction coefficients have a higher low estimation error and among the mentioned correction coefficients, the FAO coefficient has a very high overestimation error. In the batch middle method, sediment estimation at high discharges is improved by reducing the effect of low points.

Assessment corrective methods for estimating suspended sediment (Case Study: Beshaar Watershed)

Regression equations of sediment rating curves are too biased due to the logarithmic of the discharge and suspended sediment data. In this study, correction coefficients were used to improve the results of river sediment estimation methods in Bashar and Zohreh hydrometric stations with different indices of accuracy and precision. The present study aims to evaluate the performance of five method...

Determination of the Best Model to Estimate Suspended Sediment Load in Zaremrood River, Mazandaran Province

Extended abstract 1- Introduction The phenomena of erosion, sediment transport, and sedimentations have tremendously destructive effects on the environment and hydraulics structures. In general, the sediment transportation depends on river discharges, but the proposed equations inherited serious errors.  The estimation of suspended sediment load (SSL) is one of the most important factors in r...

Comparison and evaluation of intelligent models for river suspended sediment estimation (case study: Kakareza River, Iran)

Sediment transport constantly influences river and civil structures and the lack ofinformation about its exact amount makes management efforts less effective. Hence,achieving a proper procedure to estimate the sediment load in rivers is important. We usedsupport vector machine model to estimate the sediments of the Kakareza River in LorestanProvince and the results were compared with those obta...

An expert integrative approach for sediment load simulation in a tropical watershed. ABSTRACT Prediction of highly non-linear behaviour of suspended sediment flow in rivers is of prime

Prediction of highly non-linear behaviour of suspended sediment flow in rivers is of prime importance in environmental studies and watershed management. In this study, the predictive performance of artificial neural network (ANN) integrated with genetic algorithm (GA) was assessed. GA was used to optimize the parameters and architecture of the ANN. Five simulation scenarios (S1–S5) were develop...
