Soil, rock particles, or other debris rolled along the bottom of a stream by the moving water, as contrasted with the "silt load" carried in suspension.
The sediment transported by a stream that is dragged or bounced along the bottom.
Large particles, such as sand, pebbles, or cobbles, that bounce or roll along a stream bed.
Sand, silt, gravel, or soil and rock detritus carried by a stream on or immediately above its bed. The particles of this material have a density or grain size such as to preclude movement far above or for a long distance out of contact with the stream bed under natural conditions of flow.
particulates that are transported along the channel bottom in the lower layers of streamflow by rolling and bouncing.
A body of coarse particles that move along the bottom of a stream.
larger particles rolling and bouncing along the bottom of a stream
Sediment that is transported in a stream by rolling, sliding, or skipping along the bed or very close to it; considered to be within the bed layer.
Sediment, rocks and other materials that are transported by rolling or bouncing along the bottom of a stream.
Sediment consisting of coarse material such as gravel, stones, and boulders that move along the bottom of a stream channel.
Sediment particles resting on or near the channel bottom that are pushed or rolled along by the flow of water.
Detrital sediment transported by flowing water along a channel bed or sides either through rolling, sliding, or saltation; Usually of coarser grain size as compared to the suspended load
(3) sediment in a stream that moves by sliding, rolling, or bounding on or near the streambed
The sediment that a stream moves along the bottom of its channel by rolling and bouncing ( saltation).
Heavy or large SEDIMENT particles that travel near or on the BED.: (1) A level or gently sloping erosion plane inclined seaward. (2) A nearly horizontal area at about the level of maximum HIGH WATER on the sea side of a DIKE.
Sediment that moves by rolling, sliding, or skipping along the bed and is essentially in contact with the stream bed.
Portion of the stream load that is carried along the stream bed without being permanently suspend in the flowing water.
The coarse sediment rolled along the bottom of a stream.
The portion of a stream's sediment load that is neither dissolved nor suspended. The streambed materials that move only by sliding, rolling, or bounding.
Bed load is a term to describe the larger particles (relative to the suspended load) that are carried along the bottom of a stream.
