Suspended load generally constitutes the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream. This is because the particles in the suspended load are small and can remain suspended in the water for long periods of time, allowing the stream to transport them over long distances. Bed load, dissolved load, and saltation load typically make up a smaller percentage of the total sediment load of a stream.
