What is it about?
Sediment transport is a mechanical process associated with the movement of a particular mass of particles along the torrents, streams, and rivers bed, or along the swash zone of shoreline by changing the continuous morphology of their flow path. Sediments are fragmented materials formed as results of the different physical-chemical process.

Why is it important?
Sediment transport process in torrential rivers begins with massive size sediments represented by rocks, while at the downstream part; the main part of rocks is fragmented up to tiny particles
Perspectives
Especially in modified rivers, flow regime is significantly altered that´s why is crucial to understand the implications imposed in the riverbed as result of water depth variability. These implications can be adequately explained through relation between flow regime and physical parameters.
