Application of Methods and Models for Prediction of Land Surface Erosion and Yield.

Abstract

This document provides guidance on methods to estimate watershed sediment yield. It also reviews procedures for estimating the inflowing sediment load and gradation for use in sediment assessments or mobile boundary hydraulic and sedimentation studies. The focus is on development of data for HEC-6. HEC-6 is a numerical model that can be used for the prediction of sediment movement and deposition in rivers and reservoirs. References are provided throughout this document for sources of information and data. Readers are encouraged to check these sources. This document was prepared by Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Incorporated. D. Michael Gee, Training Division, HEC, was the project manager and provided assistance in preparing this document. Josie Garcia-Moreno, Training Division, HEC, performed final edit and formatted document. Vern Bonner was Chief, Training Division, and Darryl Davis was the Director of HEC during the preparation of this report. (AN)
