Correct answer is (c) Bedload, Dissolved load and Suspended load

Easy explanation: Bedload is that portion of sediment load that is transported along the bed by sliding, rolling or hopping. The dissolved load is the one that is chemically carried by water in the form of ions. When the material is maintained in suspension due to the turbulence of flowing water, it is called a suspended load.

Calculate the effective unit tractive force that causes bed load transportation if the unit tractive force produced by the flowing water is 3.20 N/m^2. The Manning’s coefficient on an unrippled bed is 0.0108 and the actual observed value of Manning’s coefficient on ripped channels is 0.0222. Take the value of critical shear stress that is required to move the grain particle as 0.5 N/m^2.
