Scope of suspended‐load study —One phase of the study of fundamental problems of dynamics of stream‐flow which confronts the Cooperative Laboratory of the Soil Conservation Service is the determination of the influence of suspended load upon flow‐characteristics of a stream. Some of the aspects to be considered are: (a) The effect of suspended load on mean velocity, velocity‐distribution, entrainment‐force, competence, and capacity; and (b) variations of vertical distribution of suspended load with variations of change, variations of grain, and variations of material.
