The amount of suspended sediment transported from rivers to the ocean fluctuates over time, with a substantial increase occurring during storm events. This surge in poses numerous challenges coastal areas, highlighting importance accurately assessing load address these issues. In this study, we developed and experimentally verified novel method for suspended-sediment-discharge quantification es...

Soil losses and the subsequent sediment delivery constitute significant environmental threats. Climate change is likely to have an impact on the availability of water and therefore on sediment yield in catchments. In this context, quantifying the sediment response to an increased atmospheric CO2 concentration and climate change is of utmost importance to the proper management of rural catchment...

Sorption of pyrethroid insecticides to solid materials will typically dominate the fate and transport of these hydrophobic compounds in aquatic environments. Batch reactor isotherm experiments were performed with bifenthrin and λ-cyhalothrin with suspended material and bed sediment collected from the Sacramento River, California, USA. These batch reactor experiments were performed with low spik...

Modeling of stream flow–suspended sediment relationship is one of the most studied topics in hydrology due to itsessential application to water resources management. Recently, artificial intelligence has gained much popularity owing toits application in calibrating the nonlinear relationships inherent in the stream flow–suspended sediment relationship. Thisstudy made us of adaptive neuro-fuzzy ...

[1] River suspended-sediment concentrations provide insights to the erosion and transport of materials from a landscape, and changes in concentrations with time may result from landscape processes or human disturbance. Here we show that suspended-sediment concentrations in the Santa Ana River, California, decreased 20-fold with respect to discharge during a 34-year period (1968 2001). These dec...

Government and NGO funded conservation programs are being implemented in developing countries with the potential benefit of reduced sediment inflow into fresh water lakes. However, these claims are difficult to verify due to limited historical sediment concentration data in lakes and rivers. Remote sensing can potentially aid in monitoring sediment concentration. With almost daily availability ...
