This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Suspended Sediment Load - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Suspended Sediment Load of a flowing fluid, such as a river, refers to the portion of sediment that remains uplifted by the fluid’s flow during the process of sediment transportation.
Soil Erodibility Factor - Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.
Stream Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Stream Discharge is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area.
Constant n - Constant n is for the catchment to be determined by the effective rainfall of the catchment.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Soil Erodibility Factor: 0.17 --> No Conversion Required
Stream Discharge: 2.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 2.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Constant n: 3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_s = K*(Q^n) --> 0.17*(2.5^3)

Evaluating ... ...

Q_s = 2.65625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.65625 Kilogram per Second -->229.5 Ton (metric) per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

229.5 Ton (metric) per Day <-- Suspended Sediment Load

What is Soil Erodibility?

Soil Erodibility (K) is the intrinsic susceptibility of soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact. Values of K range from the lowest erodibility, 0.02, to the highest, 0.69. All other factors being equal, the higher the K value, the greater the susceptibility of the soil to rill and sheet erosion by rainfall.

What is Discharge In Hydrology?

In Hydrology, Discharge is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biological material in addition to the water itself.
