Database of total bedload (federal government)
This database compiles bedload transport measurements for surface waters across Switzerland, maintained by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) of the Swiss Confederation. It originated from a proposal by the Operational Hydrology Working Group (GHO) following the severe flooding and erosion events of summer 1987, which caused extensive damage in several regions. The dataset gathers observations on sediment transport processes in rivers and streams at a national level, supporting hydrological monitoring and river management. It provides a long-term record used to assess bedload dynamics, informing flood risk studies and watercourse engineering across the country.A bedload transport database for surface waters throughout Switzerland. Following the devastating events of the summer of 1987, which caused major damage in many regions of Switzerland, the Operational Hydrology Working Group (GHO) proposed that a bedload transport database should be set up.
