Describe processes represented by the model	Bed-material sediment transport and storage on a river network.
Describe key physical parameters and equations	See readme file with the source file download or related publications by J. A. Czuba.
Describe length scale and resolution constraints	The river network is composed of links, defined as a segment of river channel between tributaries, but can be made smaller if desired. Generally each link has a length on the order of a few kilometers.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints	Limited by computational resources.
Describe any numerical limitations and issues	See related publications by J. A. Czuba.

Describe available calibration data sets	An application dataset for the Minnesota River Basin is included as part of the source file download.
