Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

b) Explain two common methods used to describe the wind speed profile in the atmospheric boundary layer.
A developer has recently purchased a 7 mi area of land north of Houston. She is interested in determining the impact that development will have on the hydrologic response of the area. There is one main channel running through the area and the length along it from the outlet to the divide is 6 mi. The aver- age slope in this area is 100 ft/mi. To determine the comparison hydrographs, a storm with duration of 3 hr will be used. Pre-development, the area is 40% wooded (good condition), 30% good con- dition meadow, and 30% cultivated land with conservation treatment. Post- development, the watershed will be 10% wooded (good condition), 5% good condition meadow, 30% cultivated land with conservation treatment, 30% residential with an average lot size of 1/8 acre, and 25% commercial area. The area has 40% soil type A and 60% soil type C.
