Abstract
An accurate estimation of sediment discharge inrivers and streams should be solved for the appropriate rivermanagement and monitoring. In this study, a new formulawhich has minimum parameters considering existing ones witha concept of entropy by a probabilistic approach, was developedand mean suspended sediment concentration were estimated.Results of this new formula were verified with the experimentalresults which were conducted with a steady state and graduallyinjecting sediment (D= 105 ㎛) in a rectangular cross-sectionalflume previously. The relationship between the measuredsediment distribution and the estimated sediment distributionhas a good agreement.
