The general theory of the vertical distribution of suspended sediment in a turbulent water stream has been sufficiently well established to permit its use in making calculations of the suspended material transportation in connection with engineering problems. It is the purpose of this paper to present simplified methods for making the necessary calculations of the total amount of sediment transported in suspension in a river or canal. Field‐data is presented for purposes of checking the validity of the various approximations made, and to indicate the accuracy of the proposed calculations.
