Abstrakt: The sediment problem in rivers is one of the common problems faced by most hydraulic establishments such as dams, water treatment plants, and other facilities. It is necessary to measure and evaluate the quantity of sediment for bedload and suspended load through the water stream before establishing any facility. There are several formulas used to calculate sediment transport around the world. The validity of these formulas has been verified in several regions. However, the conditions for applying these formulas differ from one region to another, and the accuracy of using one of these formulas in one region may be better than using it in another region. This study aims to evaluate these formulas used to calculate the sediment transport in the Euphrates River upstream of Ramadi Barrage in the west of Iraq. The field data were used to evaluate the different sediment transport equations and compare the calculated data with the measured data using statistical methods to find the best equations that can be applied in the study area. The Bagnold equation was more accurate than other formulas in determining the amount of sediment transport in the Euphrates River upstream Ramadi barrage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
