Description and Table of Contents

Description

Sedimentation embodies the processes of erosion, transportation, deposition and the compaction of sediments. While these process occur naturally, they can be influenced and aggravated by human activity, with the potential for environmental damage and the risk of disastrous accidents. As such, hydrologists and other water engineers need a thorough understanding of sedimentation processes in a variety of environments, and these papers each cover a different aspect of sedimentation, examining causes, effects, and practical management strategies.
