Summary In order to clarify the sediment movement through the sediment transport system, observations were conducted during eleven floods from 2001 to 2005 in Abe River. The results showed that 1) the vertical distribution of sediment concentration were not so changed, 2) the sediment discharges were under the estimated value by using bed-load equations.
