Abstract

In recent years the hydrological service in Austria developed and implemented a new, continuous, long term suspended sediment monitoring system taking the spatial and temporal variability of the suspended sediment transport process into consideration. The new monitoring strategy and analysis concept during the data processing was applied at 28 measurement sites for the period from 2009 to 2011. Furthermore a lot of investigation was done to verify and validate the suspended sediment data in preparation for the annual publication. The results of analysis of the suspended sediment concentrations, transport rates, loads and yields in Austrian Rivers confirm the well done verification and validation and allow conclusions about the respective suspended sediment transport processes.
