Equation for Sediment Delivery Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Sediment Delivery Ratio = Coefficient K*(Watershed Area^Coefficient m)*(Watershed Relief/Watershed Length)^Constant n
SDR = k*(A^m)*(R/L)^n
This formula uses 7 Variables
Variables Used
Sediment Delivery Ratio - Sediment Delivery Ratio is defined as the sediment yield from an area divided by the gross erosion of that same area.
Coefficient K - Coefficient K in Logarithmic Transformation which reduces or removes the skewness of our original data.
Watershed Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Watershed Area is an isolated area with a well demarcated boundary line, draining the rainwater to a single outlet.
Coefficient m - Coefficient m in Logarithmic Transformation which reduces or removes the skewness of our original data.
Watershed Relief - Watershed Relief or elevation difference. Watershed relief is the elevation difference between highest and lowest points of valley floor.
Watershed Length - (Measured in Meter) - Watershed Length is distance from outlet to watershed boundary along main channel.
Constant n - Constant n is for the catchment to be determined by the effective rainfall of the catchment.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Coefficient K: 0.1 --> No Conversion Required
Watershed Area: 20 Square Meter --> 20 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient m: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required
Watershed Relief: 10 --> No Conversion Required

3 Movement of Sediments from Watersheds Calculators

Watershed Relief when Sediment Delivery Ratio is considered
Go Watershed Relief = Watershed Length*(Sediment Delivery Ratio/(Coefficient K*(Watershed Area^Coefficient m)))^(1/Constant n)
Watershed Length when Sediment Delivery Ratio is considered
Go Watershed Length = Watershed Relief/(Sediment Delivery Ratio/(Coefficient K*(Watershed Area^Coefficient m)))^(1/Constant n)
Equation for Sediment Delivery Ratio
Go Sediment Delivery Ratio = Coefficient K*(Watershed Area^Coefficient m)*(Watershed Relief/Watershed Length)^Constant n

Equation for Sediment Delivery Ratio Formula

Sediment Delivery Ratio = Coefficient K*(Watershed Area^Coefficient m)*(Watershed Relief/Watershed Length)^Constant n
SDR = k*(A^m)*(R/L)^n

What is Sediment delivery ratio (SDR)?

Sediment delivery ratio (SDR) is defined as the sediment yield from an area divided by the gross erosion of that same area. SDR is expressed as a percent and represents the efficiency of the watershed in moving soil particles from areas of erosion to the point where sediment yield is measured.

How to Calculate Equation for Sediment Delivery Ratio?

Equation for Sediment Delivery Ratio calculator uses Sediment Delivery Ratio = Coefficient K*(Watershed Area^Coefficient m)*(Watershed Relief/Watershed Length)^Constant n to calculate the Sediment Delivery Ratio, The Equation for Sediment Delivery Ratio is defined as the sediment yield from an area divided by the gross erosion of that same area.
