The pieces of solid rock broken off from the channel bed are carried along by the stream as bedload. Suspended load refers to fine-grained particles (such as sand, silt, and clay) that are carried in the water column, while dissolved load refers to minerals and nutrients that are dissolved in the water. Discharge refers to the volume of water passing through a certain point in the channel over a given time period.
