| Bedload Trap | ||
| Making a bedload trap for a small stream: | ||
| Dig a trench about 25cms deep across the stream (landowner's permission) | ||
| insert a wooden box into the trench. Ensure that the top of the box does not stick up above the river bed. | ||
| After a given interval (an hour or a day, depending on the volume of bedload being transported) remove the box from the river and weigh the material.) | ||
