Abstract

The suspended sediment discharged by the Susquehanna River at Havre de Grace, Maryland, during the year 1 April 1966 through 31 March 1967 is estimated to be about 0.60×106 metric tons. This estimate is based on daily river discharge records from the Conowingo Hydroelectric Plant, and on 34 determinations of the depth distribution of suspended sediment at a station in the Susquehanna River off Havre de Grace. Approximately 70% of this total of 0.60×106 tons, or about 0.42×106 tons, was discharged during the period of peak river flow in February and March.
