The article examines how floods in the Sakarya River basin in Turkey transport a large amount of sediment each year. By studying data on suspended sediment in the streams, the researchers found that the highest annual floods play a significant role in sediment transport. They developed equations to estimate the amount of sediment carried by these floods, which can help with watershed conservation and reservoir planning. The study shows that a small number of major floods are responsible for moving most of the sediment in the basin.
