Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capacity describes the total sediment load that a stream can transport, which is affected by factors such as the stream's volume and velocity. Discharge refers to the volume of water passing through a given point in the stream in a set amount of time, and competence refers to the ability of a stream to transport larger particles based on the velocity of the water. Hydro-load factor is not a commonly used term in the study of stream transport.
