Talk:Sediment transport

Starting article
I'm turning this page into a detailed discussion of sediment transport instead of just making it a redirect to "sediment". That way, "sediment" won't have to go too deep/too far out of its basic scope, and can link to this for a more detailed description of sediment transport. I'll be editing this off and on.

Merger proposal
I propose that Transportation (sediment) be merged into this article, and that the "Transportation (sediment)" become a redirect to this article. 2 reasons: Awickert (talk) 21:35, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Transportation (sediment) is a stub without sources, while Sediment transport has a significant amount of material and verifiable sources.
 * 2) Sediment transport is the common name in geology and fluid mechanics for this process

Articles were merged by User:Beland. Thanks. Awickert (talk) 23:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

To do
I'm proposing the below to-do list for this article. It's pretty extensive, but I wanted to write down a template of goals I invite other editors to modify it, add to it, and check things off as they are completed.

I'm proposing this because the article currently focuses a ton on bedload transport in rivers, which is where my knowledge lies. Awickert (talk) 06:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

You are missing any reference to colloidal material. 91.111.126.229 (talk) 10:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

As a beginner I found the "Setup" and "solution" sections confused. There appears to be some duplication of equations between sections.--130.88.118.184 (talk) 18:08, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
