Abstract

Sediment delivery was estimated for 13 tributary watersheds and the North Fork of Caspar Creek. The ratio of sediment to erosion averaged 16.4%, ranging from 1.0% to 89.7%. Because the data were so highly skewed their median is a better indicator of central tendency than their mean. The median delivery ratio was 6.3%
