Relationship For Estimating The Suspended Sediment Load In The Watershed Of The Ebda Wadi Algeria

Abstract The following paper presents a determination of a relationship for estimating the suspended sediment load in the watershed of the Ebda wadi. To determine this we have based our analysis on the exploitation of the data of instantly sampling of flow and the concentration of the carried sediments in suspension in the stream. The obtained results show that the correlation between the concentration of suspended sediment and the liquid flow is bad. The spring season is a season of floods. The relationship found is characterized by its shape power. The relationship is Qs 188Ql127 with R2 070 where R 084 84. This relationship must be handled carefully to avoid errors that can be generated by the application. The importance of the relationship lies found to fill the gaps and to quantify the suspended sediment load in the Ebda wadi.
