Abstract
The further development of the N.I. Makkaveyev’s theory of the united erosion-deposition process and the synthesis of the concept of this process manifestation at different parts of the fluvial systems (FS) is proposed. Such a synthesis was developed on the basis of the equation of sediment budget, which is universal and basic for all types of FS on different scales. The ratios of the values of the main terms in this equation: erosion, deposition and sediment flux from the catchment, are the explicit quantitative criteria for classification of the parts of FS and of their definition as erosional, dynamically stable or depositional, according to the sign of the sediment budget. It is proposed to define the overall FS type, from the head waters to a given cross-section, according to the delivery ratio.
