You can refer to the published scientific paper in the scientific journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences and started talking about the estimate runoff and sedimentation rate in the Blue Nile Basin, which carry the following address (( A multi basin SWAT model analysis of runoff and sedimentation in the Blue Nile, Ethiopia)) by group of research

1st calculate the water discharge. Easiest means is indirect calculation. Read papers by Stanley Schumm and his students of Colorado state Univ. C ross sections and slope yield water discharge. If you collected water samples and know sediment percentage in the volume you collected at the measured sections then sediment discharge is now sweat..
The first is from Mr. Pradeep, he send me his article : Distinguishing Human and Climate Influences on the Columbia River: Changes in Mean Flow and Sediment Transport
Pradeep K. Naik · David A. Jay Journal of Hydrology
I find this article interesting but I am trying to look for new ideas to add to be able to apply them to our study area
I can send you the full text in attached mail
and the second one, he suggested to me:
