Abstract

A mathematical model is used for the estimation of the annual sediment yield resulting from rainfall and runoff at the outlet of Nestos River basin (Toxotes, Thrace, Greece), where the ecologically interesting Nestos delta exists. The model is applied to that part of Nestos River basin (838 km2) which lies downstream of three dams. Two dams (Thissavros and Platanovryssi) have been already constructed, while the third one (Temenos) is under construction. The model consists of three sub-models: a rainfall-runoff sub-model, a surface erosion sub-model and a sediment transport sub-model for streams. This model is also capable of computing the annual erosion amount and sediment yield in the individual sub-basins
