Description
Presents mathematical models for estimating and predicting sediment fluxes.
* Models provide sufficient detail and data to enable scientists in the field to reproduce the computations and use the models for understanding their own data.
* Provides computations directly applicable to developing modern water quality models.
* All models have been calibrated and verified using three large data sets.
