Bedload transport is one major driver of gravel-bed river morphodynamics, and its quantification is capital for many environmental issues and river engineering applications, as well as for landscape evolution studies. To this point, bedload transport rates and volumes have been classically computed by means of sediment transport formulae. The most used bedload transport equations compute the bulk bedload mass based on section-averaged hydraulic parameters. However, due to the non-linear behavior of sediment transport, bedload formulae are sensitive to the input parameters. Then, some doubts arise when applying bedload equations on poorly gauged river reaches, i.e. rivers where there are no hydrological records and rating curves. In this paper, we assess the application of bedload equations in the case of poorly gauged river reaches, and we test a workflow to follow in such situations. This workflow consists of three steps: (i) Reconstructing the flow duration curve, based on gauging records from neighboring river basins; (ii) Solving the hydraulic geometry relations of the study-case river-reach, based on a flow friction equation; and finally, (iii) Computing bedload with a sediment transport equation. We tested this approach against the bedload information available in the literature for Idaho streams and we found that it could potentially approximate annual bedload volumes in ungauged reaches under certain conditions. To illustrate the potential of this workflow, we also computed bedload volumes for two ungauged river reaches from the Cantabrian mountains (NW Spain).

贫瘠山区河流的河床量估算

床载运输是砾石河道形态动力学的主要驱动力,其量化对于许多环境问题和河流工程应用以及景观演化研究来说都是资本。到目前为止,已经通过泥沙输送公式经典地计算了床荷输送速率和体积。最常用的床载运输方程式基于截面平均水力参数计算散装床载质量。但是,由于泥沙输送的非线性行为,床载量公式对输入参数很敏感。然后,在对测量不良的河段(即没有水文记录和等级曲线的河流)应用床荷方程时,会产生一些疑问。在本文中,我们评估了在河道测量不良的情况下床荷方程的应用,并且我们测试了在这种情况下可以遵循的工作流程。该工作流程包括三个步骤:(i)根据对相邻流域的测量记录,重建流量持续时间曲线;(ii)根据流动摩擦方程求解研究案例河道的水力几何关系;最后,(iii)用泥沙运移方程计算床荷。我们对照文献中关于爱达荷州河流的可用床载量信息对这种方法进行了测试,我们发现在某些条件下,它有可能近似于未开河段的年床载量。为了说明这种工作流程的潜力,我们还计算了坎塔布连山脉(西班牙西北部)的两个未开挖河段的河床载流量。(i)根据对邻近流域的测量记录,重建流量持续时间曲线;(ii)根据流动摩擦方程求解研究案例河道的水力几何关系;最后,(iii)用泥沙运移方程计算床荷。我们根据文献中有关爱达荷州河流的可用床载量信息对这种方法进行了测试,我们发现在某些条件下,它可以潜在地估算未加水河段的年床载量。为了说明这种工作流程的潜力,我们还计算了坎塔布连山脉(西班牙西北部)的两个未开挖河段的河床载流量。(i)根据对邻近流域的测量记录,重建流量持续时间曲线;(ii)根据流动摩擦方程求解研究案例河道的水力几何关系;最后,(iii)用泥沙运移方程计算床荷。我们对照文献中关于爱达荷州河流的可用床载量信息对这种方法进行了测试,我们发现在某些条件下,它有可能近似于未开河段的年床载量。为了说明这种工作流程的潜力,我们还计算了坎塔布连山脉(西班牙西北部)的两个未开挖河段的河床载流量。(iii)用泥沙运移方程计算床荷。我们对照文献中关于爱达荷州河流的可用床载量信息对这种方法进行了测试,我们发现在某些条件下,它有可能近似于未开河段的年床载量。为了说明此工作流程的潜力,我们还计算了坎塔布连山脉(西班牙西北部)的两个未扩张河段的河床载流量。(iii)用泥沙运移方程计算床荷。我们对照文献中关于爱达荷州河流的可用床载量信息对这种方法进行了测试,我们发现在某些条件下,它有可能近似于未开河段的年床载量。为了说明这种工作流程的潜力,我们还计算了坎塔布连山脉(西班牙西北部)的两个未开挖河段的河床载流量。
