| Summary |
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. This volume also available as part of a 4-volume set, ISBN 0444519599. Discount price for set purchase. * First book to consider management at the basin scale * State-of-the-art review chapters * New conceptual frameworks and approaches to management |
| Notes |
The results of four workshops organized by the working group on quality and impact assessment of the SedNet (the European Sediment Research Network) EU funded project. The four workshops were: "Chemical Analysis and Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in Sediments and Dredged Materials" held in Barcelona, on 28-30 November 2002; "Impact, Bioavailability and Assessment of Pollutants in Sediments and Dredged Materials Under Extreme Hydrological Conditions" held in Berlin on 3-5 April 2003; "Monitoring Sediment Quality at River Basin Scale, Understanding the Behaviour and Fate of Pollutants" held in Lisbon on 29-31 January, 2004; and "Towards Harmonization of Impact Assessment Tools for Sediment and Dredged Materials", held in San Sebastian, Spain on 10-11 June 2004 |
