Q.3
If the width of a river increases, the discharge per unit width will decrease and therefore, sediment carrying capacity will increase.

  • b) False
Q.4
Which of the following statement is not correct about sediment load phenomenon and its measurement?
  • a) The material is kept in suspension by the turbulence or by the generation of eddies
