Relations between total-sediment load and peak discharge for rainstorm runoff on five ephemeral streams in Wyoming
J.G. Rankl
2004, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4150
Total-sediment loads transported by ephemeral flows are a function of rainstorm energy and peak discharge. Rainstorm energy, estimated by rainfall intensity, is the primary mechanism for soil-particle detachment. Vegetation, soil cohesiveness, and land slope also are related to the amount of sediment detached, but these factors remain nearly constant, except...
