Stream sediment composition: An aid to water quality assessment

September 1974 · Water Air and Soil Pollution

The trace element composition of stream sediments from catchments contaminated by past and present mining activities has been used to indicate the trace element status of associated waters. The paper discusses the possibility of using geochemical reconnaissance maps based on the analysis of stream sediments as an ancillary aid to water quality evaluation.

Influence of water temperature on mud particle deposition - Laboratory tests

June 2004 · Journal of Coastal Research

Based on particle settling observations of muddy sediment samples from the Changjiang Estuary, the influence of water temperature on muddy sediment deposition was investigated. For water temperatures less than 25°C, mud particles are preferentially not flocculated but deposited as single grains. Under these conditions deposition is limited. When the water temperature exceeds 25°C, and given ... [Show full abstract] favorable salinity, ambient water velocity, grain size, and sediment concentration, the phenomenon of flocculation occurs, resulting in deposition of large amounts of mud particles. From these results, and based on water temperature records in the Changjiang Estuary, it is surmised that mud sediment deposition is favoured in summer when water temperatures exceed 25°C. This seasonal phenomenon presumably affects the patterns of erosion and deposition on the Changjiang estuary bed.
