Over the last 50 years the effects of suspended solids (SS) on fish and aquatic life have
been studied intensively throughout the world. It is now accepted that SS are an extremely …

The sustainable use of water resources requires clear guidelines for the management of
diffuse pollution inputs to rivers. Without informed guidelines, management decisions are …

ABSTRACT/Although sedimentation is a naturally occurring phenomenon in rivers, land-use
changes have resulted in an increase in anthropogenically induced fine sediment …

The temporal evolution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in a river debouching
into the ocean provides vital insights into erosion processes in the watershed and dictates …

Water quality, habitat, and biota were compared during spring amongst c. 100 m reaches on
11 streams draining pasture, native (podocarp‐broadleaf) forest, and exotic pine forest …

This paper examines the patterns of sediment transport in rivers in terms of the sources of
sediment and its transport and deposition through the river network. The analysis is in the …

Effective catchment management in the face of landuse alteration depends on our ability to
quantify ecologically significant changes and to discriminate among varying levels of impact …

Water systems contain fine sediment as a natural phenomenon. The main cause of
ecological deterioration is undesirable fine sediment. Fine sediment comprises inorganic …

Increased fine sediment deposition and entrainment in rivers can arise from a combination
of factors including low flows, habitat modification and excessive sediment delivery from the …

Increased sediment loading comprises one of the most important and pervasive
anthropogenic impacts on aquatic ecosystems globally. In spite of this, little is known of the …
