  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010756",
  "term": "Silt-discharge rating",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A relationship that describes the concentration or load of suspended silt in a river or stream as a function of its water discharge rate. This empirical curve is developed by taking simultaneous measurements of water flow and suspended sediment concentration over a range of conditions. It is used in hydrology to estimate sediment transport and assess erosion or deposition processes.",
