In this paper, we study the numerical approximation of bedload sediment transport due to shallow layer flows. The hydrodynamical component is modeled by a 2D shallow water system and the morphodynamical component by a solid transport discharge formula that depends on the hydrodynamical variables. The coupled system can be written as a nonconservative hyperbolic system. To discretize it, first we consider a Roe-type first order scheme as well as a variant based on the use of flux limiters. These first order schemes are then extended to second order accuracy by means of a new MUSCL-type reconstruction operator on unstructured meshes. Finally, some numerical tests are presented.
