Summary: | The paper treats the issue of the suspended sediment load transport in the
upper part of the Rasina River Basin, upstream from the "Ćelije" reservoir
during the year of 2010. Measurements of the suspended sediment
concentrations were being done at two hydrological profiles Brus and Ravni.
Total quantity of the suspended sediment load that was transported at the
profile of Brus in 2010 amounted to 3,437.3 t, which gave the specific
transport of 16.4 t/km2/year. At the downstream profile of Ravni, 43,165 t of
the suspended sediment load was transported, that is, 95.7 t/km2/year. The
basin on the whole is characterized by the existence of two seasons, which
by their characteristics in the load transport represent the extreme
variants. During the winter-spring season, 74-85.8 % of the total annual load
was transported, аnd during the summer-autumn season between 14.2 and 26 %.
