Description :
In this paper, a spatially distributed model of the hillslope sediment delivery processes, named the sediment delivery distributed (SEDD) model is initially reviewed; the model takes into account the sediment delivery processes due to both the hillslope sediment transport and the effects of slope curvature. Then the rainfall and sediment yield events measured at the experimental SPA2 basin, in Sicily, in the period December 2000/December 2005 are used both to calibrate the SEDD model and to verify the predictive capability of the distributed sediment delivery approach at event and annual temporal scales.
