Investigating and understanding river change issues is one of the important factors in sediment hydraulic sciences and river engineering. These studies can be done with the help of physical, mathematical models, or both, but due to financial and time constraints, mathematical models are more general and often used. In this study, the GSTARS model was used to investigate erosion and sedimentation and select the most appropriate function in 12.5 km in length from the Talar river in Mazandaran Province. Simulation using the 55 sections taken in 2006, the daily flow data of the hydrometric station of the Shirgah, located at the beginning of the rich and characteristics of the river sediment, was done. The calibration and validation of the model with cross sections taken in 2012 showed that Yang's sediment transport equation has the highest correlation with reality and can be used to predict river change. The amount of sediment depleted from the case study using the Yang equation is estimated at 8590 tons per year. Also, the study of longitudinal profiles of the river with different sediment transfer functions showed that the study reach at the end range has an erosion trend and is not capable of sand and gravel mining.
