Sediment Outflow

The amount of sediment transported out of the water body on a given day is calculated as a function of the final concentration. The initial suspended solid concentration is:

$sed_{flowout}=conc_{sed,f}*V_{flowout}$ 8:2.3.1

where $sed_{flowout}$ is the amount of sediment transported out of the water body with outflow (metric tons), $conc_{sed,f}$ is the final sediment concentration in the water body (Mg/m$^3$), and $V_{flowout}$ is the volume of outflow from the impoundment (m$^3$ H$_2$O).
