Sediment transport dynamics during a super flood: A case study of the 2010 super flood at the Guddu Barrage on the Indus River

Annual sediment load transportation in the Indus River varies from 0.725 to 1.0 Mt/d and varies from 260 to 300 Mt/y. Sediment accumulation upstream of the inline structure (Guddu Barrage) has frequently...
