- Variations in Load
- Size of drainage basin
- large basins more potential for carrying sediment as more tributries
- Rock type
- Soft rock produces more sediment
- Relief
- low loads found in low relief - small difference in base level therfeore less energy
- Precipitation
- low loads found in basins with low rainfall
- Human activity
- Deforestation = more load as soil eroded
- Dams trap sediment lowering yield
- Size of drainage basin
