Parameters - water temperature

The water temperature, T, is used together with the grain size, d, and the rel­ative density of the sediment, s, for the determination of the settling velocity of suspended sediment for those transport theories which calculate sus­pended load transport separately. All other parameters kept unchanged, higher water temperature will yield lower transport rates than otherwise, because higher water temperature means lower density of water and, conse­quently, higher settling velocity.

A value between 0 and 50°C may be selected.
