- Abstract:
- This project will assemble hitherto unavailable information on the fine sediment budgets and associated process dynamics of the three LOCAR catchments. This will include information on suspended sediment yields and sources and their variation according to catchment characteristics, rates of soil redistribution on slopes, slope-channel transfers, channel routing, and channel and floodplain storage. The information assembled will provide the basis for developing a sediment budget model for lowland catchments, to assist with catchment management. The sediment budget investigations will also be extended to include sediment-associated nutrients (P) and pesticides in order to establish the role of fine sediment transfer and storage in the transport and fate of nutrients and contaminants in lowland permeable catchments.
