Elevated fine sediment input from terrestrial and aquatic sources as a result of
anthropogenic activity is widely recognized to impact negatively on aquatic ecosystems. In …

Suspended sediment causes a range of environmental damage, including benthic
smothering, irritation of fish gills, and transport of sorbed contaminants. Much of the impact …

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

River health monitoring traditionally has made use of structural measurements (water quality
or taxonomic composition of aquatic organisms). We argue that a more complete …

Sediment fingerprinting techniques provide a means of assembling valuable reliable
information on the principal sources of sediment problems at catchment scale. However …

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 …

The decline in freshwater mussel populations in many river basins throughout North
America has been attributed, in part, to land-use modifications that cause changes in …

It is predicted that 60% of all new energy investments over the next 20 years will be in
renewables. The estimation for new hydropower production is 25% of all new renewables …

Stream sediments have been recognised as an in-channel store of faecal contamination that
can be mobilised during floods or other sediment-disturbing events. We studied this store of …

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 …
