to identify critical sediment sources in large catchments, using easily available terrain information at a regionalscale, a methodology was developed to obtain a qualitative assessment necessary for environmental management.fargas et al method was employed in the research. the study was carried out in one of the sub-basins of hableh roodbasin called dehnamak in the arid and semiarid climate of ...

Water resources managers always are searching for cost-effective monitoring programs that provide maximum information for minimum cost. Monitoring of sediment discharges from streams and rivers is one of the expensive efforts that is always reduced or cut when financial resources are limited. This has resulted in a very limited number of long-term sediment monitoring sites in the United States....

A watershed scale assessment of the effect of conservation practices on the environment is critical when recommending conservation management practices to agricultural producers. The identification of all sources of sediment and subsequent tracking of the movement of sediment downstream is a necessary part of this assessment including the often overlooked contributions from gully erosion source...

This contribution presents sediment classification results derived from different sources of data collected at the Dordtse Kil river, the Netherlands. The first source is a multi-beam echo-sounder (MBES). The second source is measurements taken with a gamma-ray scintillation detector, i.e., the Multi-Element Detection System for Underwater Sediment Activity (Medusa), towed over the sediments an...

Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the wider environmental significance of the suspended sediment loads transported by rivers and streams. This includes the importance of fine sediment in the transport of nutrients and contaminants, including phosphorus (P). Sediment source exerts a key control on the physical and geochemical properties of suspended sediment, including its P content,...
