Following is the appearance of the Sediment tab of the Catchment Coefficients dialog:
Following is a description of the parameters associated with Sediment. Refer to the main Catchment Coefficients page for information on other categories of coefficients. To save the changes made when closing this dialog, click OK. To ignore changes, click Cancel.
Soil Erosivity Factor is the intrinsic erodibility of the soil. (0.1 – 0.4, unitless)
The spreadsheet contains the relative amount of each sediment type in the soil surface (0 – 100 percent). The sum of all the sediment types should be 100%.
When the Apply Changes To Selected Catchments button is checked, changes made to the coefficients of the catchment being edited will be made to all selected catchments. When the Apply Changes To All Catchments button is checked, changes made to the coefficients of the catchment being edited will be made to all catchments.
