transport conditions. Nevertheless, if care is exer-
cised in matching surrogate technologies to
appropriate river and sedimentological conditions,
it may be eventually possible to remotely and con-
tinuously monitor bed-load transport in a variety of
rivers over a range of fl ow and sedimentary condi-
tions within acceptable accuracy limits. This is a
revolutionary concept in fl uvial sedimentology; ben-
efi ts of such applied capability could be enormous,
providing for safer, more frequent and possibly more
accurate, and ultimately less expensive data for use
in managing the world's sedimentary resources.
