Predictions of suspended sediment load for Soolegan River, Iran using selected empirical equ-ations were made based on 355 data sets. Data include flow discharges from 3.11 m3/s to 43.81 m3/s, flow velocities from 0.22 m/s to 1.03 m/s, and flow depths from 0.5 to 1.03 m. Equations of Einstein (1950), Bagnold (1966), Toufalleti (1968), Brooks (1963), Chang-Simons-Richardson(1965),Lane-Kalinske (...
