Popis: The study estimates the bed load sediment in the middle Araguaia River, through the height and dunes daily displacement. The studied region is located between the mouth of the Crixás-Açú River and the Bananal Island, Goiás. The dunes migrated at the rate of 7 m/day, the average water velocity was 1.25 m/sec, corresponding to a total transport of 2195.60 ton of bed load/day. Two methods were compared in order to verify possible sources of error, the Van Rijn one showed a difference of 1414 tons less then the Struckrath method, difference of 0,06% in the estimated bed load between both methods. Results were compared with the bed load of the Araguaia River in the region of Aruanã.
