Describe processes represented by the model	The numerical model solves the two-dimensional shallow water equations with different modes of sediment transport. Moreover are presently implemented the Savage-Hutter type model describing avalanches of granular materials (not tested yet) and the equations governing the motion of two layers of immiscible fluid.
Describe key physical parameters and equations	Momentum and continuity differential equations are solved for each layer. Closure equations are solved for bed-load discharge and entrainment/deposition.
Describe length scale and resolution constraints	Hundreds of Km (the reach of a river).
Describe time scale and resolution constraints	Days/months. When running for more then few month the simulation time is very large.
Describe any numerical limitations and issues	At the present I am trying to improve the wetting and drying algorithm, unphysical large velocities are sometime produced at the wet/dry front.

Describe available calibration data sets	No set of calibration data yet. Comparison with exact solution are available in: Canestrelli A., Siviglia N., Dumbser M., Toro E.F, (2009), Well-balanced high order non-conservative centered schemes for shallow water equations with fix and mobile bed, Advances in Water Resources, 32, 834–844, doi:10.1016/j.advwatres.2009.02.006.
