Suspended sediment transport is probably the main process in sediment export from badland areas. In the Araguás catchment (central Pyrenees) there is a statistically significant positive linear relationship between maximum discharge and the maximum
with the corresponding discharge value. It is highlighted that the evaluation of sediment yield from badland areas using turbidity values involves significant uncertainty, and quantitative estimates of the errors involved are provided.
