Stream transport involves the movement of sediment by the force of flowing water. Saltation, bed load, and traction are all modes of sediment transport that occur in streams. Saltation is the process by which sediment particles are lifted into the water column and then fall back to the bed. Bed load is the process by which sediment particles are rolled or dragged along the bed of the stream. Traction is the process by which sediment particles are suspended in the water column and then transported downstream.
