Hydrological regime and sediment transport in two Mediterranean intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRESs)

In intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), the hydrological regime is the primary driving force controlling the sediment transfer from the upland to the lowland catchment compartment, ergo the river geomorphology. The general objective of this study is to investigate the processes and the relationships between flow regime and suspended sediment (SS) transport in two IRESs with a different degree of intermittency, the Búger River (Spain) and the Carapelle River (Italy). The specific objectives are to (i) identify the drivers of SS transport, (ii) analyse and quantify the temporal variability of the SS transport in response to the hydrological regime. High-resolution data of streamflow and SS concentration (SSC) were used in this analysis and a set of hydrological indicators were computed to characterize and classify the flow regime.
