An Integrated Approach to Assess Sediment Stability in River Ecology for Contamination Control

Abstract

AbstractKnowing the stability of the contaminated sediment under different river discharges is critical for assessing its impact on the surrounding environment and downstream water quality. However, determining sediment stability in the field presents a ...Practical ApplicationsIn this paper, a new integrated approach was adopted to assess the stability of sediments in river ecology. Due to the lack of reliable commercial sensors to directly measure bed shear stress (BSS) in the field, traditionally, one or ...
