Can anyone share resources available online (such as excel spreadsheet or software or anything else) able to estimate the bed load transportation in fluvial river using formulas like Peter Meyer an Muller or Parker 1990 or Schoklitsc?
Thanks
There so many of modern bed load transport formula has available online, but anyway try to open and use the classical formula The Meyer-Peter and Muller equation, the classic du Boys Equation 1879 and Einstein's dimenionless to be accuracy.
Dear Zolhizir,
can you provide some links?
My deal was to evaluate the sediment transport in a river in a fast way avoid to create my own spreadsheet.
Dear Pierluigi De Rosa,
Please follow the "Sediment transport formulas" in the following link:

Hope it helps.
Hi Pierluigi,
Gary Parker has a very helpful 'e-book' on his website covering many aspects of fluvial geomorphology. The text (formatted in slides) is accompanied by labs and demos in Excel (some with Visual Basics scripts). It is a remarkable ressource, even if not completely straightforward to use.

Hi Pierluigi,
I really like HEC-6T for sediment transport analyses in 1D river systems. It has several bed load transport formulas available which you can select depending on the characteristics of the river you are analyzing. I am not quite sure about the status of the model, so I cannot tell you if you can still download it or not. Although I use a copy that I obtained years ago, the distribution of HEC-6t may have been discontinued because it seems some of its subroutines were incorporated into HEC-RAS. Check these pages for more information:

If your river cannot be modeled using a 1D model, then check hydrodynamic models such as EFDC, ECOMSED etc.
Good luck
Do not worry you much, any error sediment transport assessment with 100% error is considered good.
