Suspended sediment is particulate material carried within a fluid rather than solely along the bed. Its concentration balance includes advection, erosion into suspension and deposition from suspension. For water depth h and suspended mass concentration c, the conservative balance (hc)t​+(huc)x​=ρs​(vE​−vD​) reduces using water continuity to h(ct​+ucx​)=ρs​(vE​−vD​).
