The filling of rivers generated by carried solid deposit is a factor for
the raising of height of rivers and thus activates the floods and inundations.
The quantification of carried solid flow charges through their characterization
and the analysis of hydrosedimentary dynamics is the second step of the
investigation of the solid flow transport in the Mono river. This study aims to
quantify the volume of trapped sediments in function of the variation of the geometry of the shape of
sections of the river depending of the slope and the flow rate therefore to
evaluate the capacity of transport of eroded solid flows of a watercourse from
upstream to downstream. Consequently, the decreasing percentage of deposited
alluvium from upstream to downstream is calculated along Mono river. Thus the
drawn granulometric curve of sediments and the determinate granulometric
characteristics of sediments permit to quantify the carried sediment charges at
each chosen section with Engelund-Hansen model in Mono river.
