Quantification of Water Erosion and Statistical Modeling of Solid Transport in the Faleme River Basin (Senegal, Mali and Guinea)

Abstract

This work aims at quantifying the phenomenon of hydric erosion and at modelling solid transport and its variability in Falémé River basin over a period 1965-2015. Methodological approach is to establish a relation of regression between the data of liquid discharge (Ql) and solid discharge (Qs), from which, calculation of regression allowed to establish a model of type power Qs = 0.09Ql0.97.
