18 percent of the estimated total suspended-sediment load. All other land categories, except cropland, accounted for an estimated 37 tons per day, or about 12 percent of the total. An estimated 9.6 tons per day of suspended sediment or about 3 percent of the suspended-sediment load delivered to the lower Nueces River were removed by water withdrawals before reaching the Nueces Estuary.
Calculating Acoustic Line Velocity AVM systems measure the velocity of flowing water by means of an acoustic signal that travels faster downstream than upstream. Traveltimes are measured from point a to b and from point b to a as shown in figure 1. The difference between these traveltimes is then used in conjunction with the path length (distance from
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
