In Ohio, USA, a sufficiently large number of reservoir sediment surveys is available to
characterize spatial and temporal patterns in sediment fluxes in a disturbed landscape. In …

In the USA, the amount of erosion occurring at an upstream point is generally estimated
using the universal soil loss equation (USLE). The USLE estimates gross erosion, including …

Previous work on sediment budgets for US agricultural regions has concluded that most
sediment derived from accelerated erosion is still on the landscape, primarily in colluvial and …

Sedimentation surveys of existing reservoirs have provided the basic data that engineers
and scientists have used historically to determine rates of sediment accumulation in …

Studies of spatial variability in sediment yield have focused on variations in climate, relief
and lithology as the dominant controlling factors. Human-accelerated erosion complicates …

In ancient times, sediment and sedimentation were a blessing that brought fertility to the land
and made it possible for people to live and prosper. This is the story of the Egyptians in the …

The importance of dependable, long-term water supplies, coupled with the need to quantify
rates of capacity loss of the Nation's reservoirs due to sediment deposition, were the most …

Previous reservoir sedimentation models have ignored two key factors for large spatial and
temporal modeling of multiple reservoirs: trapping by upstream dams and decreasing …
