Hyperconcentrations of Suspended Sediment
Abstract
Extremely high suspended sediment concentrations in streamflow, those exceeding 40% by weight, are shown to consist largely of sands with an apparent minimum fine material concentration of approximately 15% by weight. X-ray diffraction analyses of the clay fractions show mostly montmorillonite and illite with some kaolinite. The volume occupied by the suspended sediment becomes appreciable at these higher concentrations, averaging 5.8% of the total runoff volume for the period 1948-1962 for the Rio Puerco in New Mexico and the Paira River in Arizona. No relation was found between streamflow discharge and the magnitude of hyperconcentration. Particle-size distributions of Paria River suspended-sediment samples appear to consist of two log-normal subdistributions: One of material finer and one of material coarser than 0.062 mm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
