Abstract

A key component of a sediment yield prediction is an estimate of the sediment deposition between erosion sources and a drainage basin outlet. This technical note presents methods requiring a minimum of data which can be used to assess the importance of sediment deposition within the river system of a basin. The methods were applied to a 4123 km² basin in the Philippines. Results indicated that sediment deposition within this river system had no significant effects on the overall sediment yield.
