Özet

Sediment yield rate calculation formulations are lacking in arid regions, because almost all the studies are concerned with humid environments. Although drainage basins (wadis) in arid regions are studied from different points of view, unfortunately there has been insufficient work on the possible sediment yield and transportation. Sediment yield within a drainage basin is a combined consequence of upland, gully, and channel erosion, transportation, and depositional processes. In arid zones, although wind deposition plays a significant role, occasional floods and flash floods are the main causes along the main channel. In fact, the bulk of the sediment yield is due to surface water runoff after each storm rainfall. This paper provides an efficient application of some available sediment yield formulations for arid regions by considering drainage basin morphology, and runoff discharge calculated for a 100-year …
