| description | The suspended sediment rating curve technique is the most common method of estimating river suspended
sediment loads in Malaysia. Thus, despite its crudeness, adherence to the correct Procedure of this technique
is very imp0rtant. Three of the most common incorrect procedures in the suspended sediment rating curve
technique were studied and compCl1ed to the results obtained from using correct procedures. Results of analysis
showed that incorrect practices of this technique underestimate the annual suspended sediment load by more
than 50 %. A correction factor to compensate for the use of non-continuous discharge data is also derived in
this study |
