Explain what is meant by a river’s load, and describe how the load is carried. Sediment load refers to the amount of sediment that a river can carry. Rivers carry their load in different ways. Large particles are pushed and rolled along the bottom of the river bed, and some sand is bounced along. Fast-moving water lifts sand and other small sediment and carries it downstream. Some larger particles of sediment are broken down by the water and carried away.
