Stream Transport Theory

Stream Transport Theory explains how materials, like sediments or pollutants, are moved along by the flow of water in rivers, streams, and other water bodies. It focuses on the interactions between the flowing water and the particles it carries, influenced by factors such as water speed, particle size, and riverbed conditions. Essentially, this theory helps us understand patterns of erosion, sediment deposition, and water quality, which are crucial for managing ecosystems, predicting flooding, and assessing environmental health.
