Abstract
This paper reports on investigations of bed load movement at the Bywell cableway gauging station on the River Tyne in Northern England. Bed load rating curves are derived using several bed load discharge formulae. Average annual bed load discharges are computed from long-term flow records. The results of the Meyer-Peter and Müller equation, showing an average annual bed load discharge of 14,900 tons approximately 11% of the average annual suspended sediment load), are considered to be the most, reliable.
