Abstract:The principle of replacement weighting method has been used in the total sediment load monitoring.Through using the specially designed digits sensor and the computer-based digits collection system, the monitoring device has a wide sediment concentration measurement range, it can monitor and record sediment concentration processes automatically and can be used in very low runoff discharge.The observation precision of the device can't be affected by sediment partical size in runoff.The device is available for rainfall erosion experiment.
