ABSTRACT
Total sediment discharge of the East Fork River, Wyoming has been determined by separate measures of bedload discharge and suspended-load discharge. Data of this determination are unique because bed material of the East Fork River is poorly sorted and covers a wide range of particle sizes from fine sands to coarse gravels, bedload is a significant portion about two-thirds of total load, and particle sizes of the bedload are significantly coarser than particle sizes of the suspended load. The Ackers-White formula was selected to illustrate what particle-size parameter is required to have the equation correctly predict or agree with observed sediment discharges.
