Together with collaborators John Pitlick and Yantao Cui, NCED Stream Restoration Program Leader Peter Wilcock has completed a project with the US Forest Service Stream System Technology Center to develop PC-based software for computing bed load transport in gravel-bed streams and rivers. The software calculates bed load transport capacities on the basis of common field measurements. It is accompanied by two reports, one describing basic sediment transport principles, the other providing instructions on software operation and guidance in the interpretation of results.

To obtain electronic copies of the reports and software, go to the US Forest Service Publications web site:
