The impacts of natural flood management approaches on in-channel sediment quality [PDF]

, 2016
Natural Flood Management (NFM) techniques aim to reduce downstream flooding by storing and slowing the flow of stormwater to river channels. These techniques include a range of measures, including setback stormwater outfalls and the physical restoration ...

Viruses may facilitate the cyanobacterial blooming during summer bloom succession in Xiangxi Bay of Three Gorges Reservoir, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms in summer are frequently accompanied by the succession of phytoplankton communities in freshwater. However, little is known regarding the roles of viruses in the succession, such as in huge reservoirs.

Influence of Sediment, Plants, and Microorganisms on Nitrogen Removal in Farmland Drainage Ditches

Agronomy, 2023
The removal of nitrogen from water is a consequence of the synergistic action of plant uptake, sediment sorption, and microbial decomposition. However, there is a lack of long-term experimental studies on the effects of each component in the process of ...

Intertemporal Valuation of River Restoration [PDF]

, 2012
Willingness to pay for an environmental improvement is a function of how long it takes to deliver the improvement. To measure the effect of time on benefits, I utilize a discrete choice experiment that includes an attribute for delay until the ...

Backwater controls of avulsion location on deltas [PDF]

, 2012
River delta complexes are built in part through repeated river-channel avulsions, which often occur about a persistent spatial node creating delta lobes that form a fan-like morphology. Predicting the location of avulsions is poorly understood, but it is

Restoration challenges for urban rivers

Water Science and Technology, 2007
Urban sources account for significant quantities of important diffuse pollutants, and urban watercourses are typically badly polluted. As well as toxic metals, hydrocarbons including PAHs, and suspended matter, priority urban pollutants include faecal pathogens and nutrients.
