Sediment Production
Sediment Production :
Delivery of colluvium or bedrock from hillslope to stream channel. The production rate is evaluated as the sum of the rates of colluvial bank erosion and sediment transport across channel banks. Colluvium: Soil and rock debris on a hillslope that has been transported from its original location. Channel: A natural stream that conveys water; a ditch or channel excavated for the flow of water. Sediment: Particulate organic and inorganic matter that accumulates in a loose, unconsolidated form on the bottom of natural waters
