1. Sediment Flux & ADCP Jeroen Aardoom Aqua Vision The Netherlands

2. Sediment Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) Q (m3/s) ADCP measures water velocity (discharge)

3. Sediment Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) Q (m3/s) ADCP measures water velocity (discharge) ADCP 36.9 m3/s

4. Sediment Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) SSC (g/m3) Take a water sample Flux 1 sample = 36.9 m3/s * 32 (g/m3) = 1.18 kg/s

5. Sediment Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) SSC (g/m3) Take multiple water samples, Sa i Average SSC samples = 30.2 g/m3 Flux 9 samples = 36.9 m3/s * 30.2 (g/m3) = 1.11 kg/s

6. Sediment Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) SSC (g/m3) Averaging should be weighted with Q Flux = Q L * + Q M * + Q R * QLQL QMQM QRQR

7. Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) SSC (g/m3) Instead of 3 sections Flux ADCP Q bin *SCC bin = 1.85 kg/s QLQL QMQM QRQR, use Q per ADCP bin, and SSC per bin

8. Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) SSC (g/m3) Flux 9 samples = 1.11 kg/s Flux 1 sample = 1.18 kg/s Flux ADCP = 1.85 kg/s Flux = QLQL QMQM QRQR

9. Sediment Flux (g/s) = Q (m 3 /s) * SSC (g/m 3 ) SSC (g/m3) Need to convert ADCP signal to SSC Software tool for conversion
