contents We derive the first-moment Shallow Water Exner Moment model with sediment entrainment and deposition (SWEMED1) and show that the full source term has a fully-settled water-at-rest equilibrium manifold. We prove that the model is only weakly hyperbolic at this equilibrium, which prevents the use of Yong's structural stability framework. However, a linear spectral analysis and numerical results do not indicate instability. Based on numerical results, we introduce a fast-slow scaling of the source term, and for the fast limit, we derive a new suspended water-at-rest equilibrium manifold, which has a different structure but is still only weakly hyperbolic. Our results show that the remaining obstruction is linked to the transport closure of the SWEMED1, and we give a constructive direction for the derivation of new closures leading to models with more desirable analytical properties.
