This paper details a basic method for estimation of both bed material yield and supply rates for a glaciated catchment. A simple regression relationship between discharge and erosion volume was used to predict the work done by the channel

model is presented, using the theory of uniformly progressive flow and incorporating zoned longitudinal variation in rheology. It is shown that non-homogeneity can cause very significant magnification of the peak discharge, depending on the slope angle

This paper examines the pattern of discharge and sediment concentration along a 1052 km reach of the Murrumbidgee River during two major flood events, and compare the observed pattern with that of Heidel (1956). Floods on the river are concentrated

deposits from Xiaolangdi Reach of the Yellow River have been identified and related to floods according to both eyewitness accounts and the analysis of sediments. The technique successfully delineated the peak flood level and estimated a discharge
