The Use of Suspended Sediment Rating Curves In Malaysia Some Preliminary Considerations

The suspended sediment rating curve technique is the most common method of estimating river suspended sediment loads in Malaysia. Thus, despite its crudeness, adherence to the correct Procedure of this technique is very imp0rtant. Three of the most common incorrect procedures in the suspended sedi...
