the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...

sediment fingerprinting is a method for identifying sediment sources and determining the rate of contribution of each source. in this method, the natural tracer technology is used, that combined from samples collection, laboratory analyzing and statistical modeling. the natural tracers are measured in both the sources and suspended sediment to determine the rate of contribution each sources. th...

Strategic efforts to abate sediment in impaired watersheds face numerous challenges in achieving tangible water quality improvements that are measurable, attributable to project actions, and focused on principle causative sources. As part of a small watershed sediment control strategy, the Soque River Watershed Partnership will examine the feasibility of conducting sediment source assessments f...

This paper is concerned with monitoring the hourly event-based river suspended sediment concentration (SSC) due to storms in Jiasian diversion weir in southern Taiwan. The weir is built for supplying 0.3 million tons of water per day averagely for civil and industrial use. Information of suspended sediments fluxes of rivers is crucial for monitoring the quality of water. The issue of water qual...
