Suspended Sediment and Turbidity Relationships for Individual and Multiple Catchments

The relationships between suspended sediment concentrations and turbidity were analysed at rising and falling stages, using individual and combined catchments. Results suggested a high correlation exists between suspended sediment concentration and turbidity for most of the field data. The least sq...
