Equilibrium State of PAHs in Bottom Sediment-Water-Suspended Sediment System of a Large River Considering Freely Dissolved Concentrations.
In natural waters, the equilibrium state of hydrophobic organic compounds among bottom sediment (BS), suspended sediment (SPS), and water is fundamental to infer their transfer flux and aqueous bioavailability. However, this type of information remains scarce and fragmented. This study systematically evaluated the equilibrium state of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Yangtze River...
متن کاملA Seasonally Robust Empirical Algorithm to Retrieve Suspended Sediment Concentrations in the Scheldt River
A seasonally robust algorithm for the retrieval of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) in the Scheldt River from hyperspectral images is presented. This algorithm can be applied without the need to simultaneously acquire samples (from vessels and pontoons). Especially in dynamic environments such as estuaries, this leads to a large reduction of costs, both in equipment and personnel. The algorit...
متن کاملDual Behavior of Suspended Sediment Concentration in a Regulated River
Better understanding of suspended sediment transport processes allows for better management of both rivers and coasts. Based on field data and sediment transport energy theory, this study presents an analysis on the suspended sediment hysteresis in the Lower Tenryu River of Japan in connection to the channel carrying capacity of suspended sediment and morphological characteristics. The transpor...
متن کاملComparison and evaluation of intelligent models for river suspended sediment estimation (case study: Kakareza River, Iran)
Sediment transport constantly influences river and civil structures and the lack ofinformation about its exact amount makes management efforts less effective. Hence,achieving a proper procedure to estimate the sediment load in rivers is important. We usedsupport vector machine model to estimate the sediments of the Kakareza River in LorestanProvince and the results were compared with those obta...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal variation in suspended sediment, organic matter, and turbidity in a Minnesota prairie river: implications for TMDLs.
The Minnesota River Basin (MRB), situated in the prairie pothole region of the Upper Midwest, contributes excessive sediment and nutrient loads to the Upper Mississippi River. Over 330 stream channels in the MRB are listed as impaired by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, with turbidity levels exceeding water quality standards in much of the basin. Addressing turbidity impairment requires ...
