Description
Sediments are a natural part of aquatic systems and they are essential for the hydrological, geomorphological and ecological functioning
of those systems. For society they are important and represent an important resource. However, due to the ever increasing use of river
catchments, sediments need to be managed in a balanced and sustainable way. Sediment Management at the River Basin Scale
reviews some of the key requirements and challenges facing scientists, river basin managers, and policy makers for sustainable sediment
management at the river basin scale, and puts forward important recommendations.
