What are Different types of load in a stream?

The different types of loads in a stream include bed load (particles moving along the stream bed), suspended load (fine particles carried in the water column), and dissolved load (chemical substances carried in solution). These loads contribute to the overall sediment transport and water quality of the stream.

How are the ionic or dissolved sediments carried in a stream released?

Sediments are carried as the following loads: dissolved, suspended, and bed. A dissolved load is composed of ions in solution. These ions are usually carried in the water all the way to the ocean. ... Particles that are too large to be carried as suspended loads are bumped and pushed along the stream bed, called bed load.

What is the difference between a stream bed and a stream bank?

A stream bed is the bottom sediment layer of the stream channel which is constantly inundated with water. It is a saturated layer of sediment inhabitated by macroinvertibrates, algae, macrophytes, and microbes. The particle size of the stream bed material (fine clay vs large rock and boulders) is dependent on geologic region, size of the stream, and stream velocity. The stream bank is the adjacent sloping walls that confine the stream on either side. They are typically not wet except in times of high flows. Banks typically can grow more terrestrial vegetation such as reeds, grasses, and trees.
