Erosion and Sedimentation
Biswajit Mukhopadhyay, Vijay P. Singh
Abstract
Covers erosion process, types of erosion, estimation of erosion using universal and modified universal soil loss equations, sediemnt yield and its determination, temporal distribution of sedienmnt yiled, sediemnt loads in channels, sediemnt transport, sediemnt properties, fall velocity, sediemnt transport functions, sediment routing, reservoir sedimentation, and erosion and sedimentation modeling in HEC-HMS.
