Sediment transport over a weir

Dear all,
I am setting up a 2D simulation with sediment transport using Basement 2.6. In the domain I have to include a weir, to do that  I use a INNER BOUNDARY condition. My question is, in which way the model considers the sediment transport over the weir? Do I have to set some specific hydraulic condition(s) between the upstream and the downstream cross sections of the weir.
Thanks in advance

Hi Filippo
There is a dredge source where you can redistribute the dredged material to downstream elements.
Hope this helps!
Best, Lukas
