Erosion and Sediment Transport Measurement in Rivers: TechnologicalAuthor / Editor: by J. Bogen, T. Fergus & D. E. Walling Publication Number: 283 ISBN Number: 978-1-901502-42-8 Year: 2003 Pages: 238 Price: £15.00 The growing awareness of the important role of fluvial sediment in a wide range of environmental problems has accentuated the need for better and more consistent information, yet data collection in this field still lags behind other areas of hydrology. New problems call for new approaches, new strategies and new methods, in order to develop an improved understanding of cause and effect relationships for different activities within a river basin.
Developments in what can be measured in the field, or on samples returned to the laboratory, and in how the data can be used, are moving forward apace. In the case of instream measurements, the environment is often hostile but innovative use of new technology enables data collection that was previously unthought of.
