PART I:  EDITION 1993;                             715 pages
PART II: SUPPLEMENT/UPDATE 2006;   500 pages

This document (A4 size: 215x295 mm) consis­ting of approximately 1200 pages, contains all details of sediment transport (sand, silt and mud) in rivers, estuaries and coastal seas. The TRANS­POR2004-program is available for computa­tion of: wave length, near-bed peak orbi­tal veloci­ties, bed-shear stress, initiation of motion parameters, fall veloci­ty of sedi­ment, velocity and sand concen­tra­tion, bed-load and sus­pen­ded load trans­port, bed-form height and length.
