load

In earth sciences, material transported by a river. It includes material carried on and in the water (suspended load) and material bounced or rolled along the river bed (bedload). A river's load is greatest during a flood, when its discharge is at its highest.

The term ‘load’ can also refer to material transported by a glacier or by the sea.
