Dam reservoirs can strongly influence the spatial distribution of sediment pollution by
microplastics (MP). The Villerest reservoir (Loire River, 36 km long) is a good candidate to …

The quantity and quality of surface water are inherently connected yet are overwhelmingly
studied separately in the field of remote sensing. Remotely observable water quantity (eg …

Rivers are characterized by their water flow regime and sediment transport. Sediments are
crucial for channel morphology, water quality, providing habitat for aquatic organisms and …

Heavy metals are toxic, persistent, and non-degradable. After sedimentation and adsorption,
they accumulate in water sediments. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of heavy …

A focused diagnosis of ecosystem health in two South African estuaries (Kromme and
Gamtoos) was conducted. Four pollution indices were used, ie, geoaccumulation (Igeo) …

Reservoirs created by impounding sediment-laden streams infill over time, reducing storage
capacity and altering water quality. Increasing freshwater demand on a limited supply is …

Reservoirs are important for various purposes including flood control, water supply, power
generation, and recreation. The aging of America's reservoirs and progressive loss of water …

Large dams affect the aquatic continuum from land to ocean by accumulating particles and
nutrients in their reservoirs. We examined sediment cores to quantify sediment, organic …

Dam reservoirs are complex depositional systems, which provide barriers to natural
sediment transport along river courses. In addition, reservoir sedimentation causes serious …

Abstract The Funil Reservoir receives a large amount of xenobiotics from the Paraíba do Sul
River (PSR) from large number of industries and municipalities in the watershed. This study …
