Abstract

the present paper discusses the outcome of the comparative analysis of the applicability of Bagnold
(1966), Wiuff (1985) and Celik & Rodi (1991) Suspended load transport functions for Vaitarna River. Statistical
parameters such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Discrepancy Ratio (DR) and Inequality Coefficient (U) have
been computed for evaluating the performance of the selected formulas. Graphical comparisons are done to
demonstrate the performance and variations for different data sets. Score in terms of percentage of discrepancy ratio
within the range 0.5 to 2.0 are calculated for comparison. Analytical evaluation reveals that Bagnold (1966)
Suspended load transport formula holds good for Vaitarna River with score of 98.90% while Wuiff and Celik & Rodi
Suspended Transport formula are incapable in predicting the Suspended Load for Vaitarna River to a satisfactory
level.
