Estimating spatial sediment delivery ratio on a large rural catchment
(2006-05-20)
Soil erosion and sediment yield from catchments are key limitations to achieving sustainable land use
and maintaining water quality in streams, lakes and other water bodies. Controlling sediment loading
requires the ...
Classification of catchment risk areas using spatially distributed event-based soil erosion: a case of upper Njoro river catchment, Kenya
(WIT Press, 2008-12-19)
Human-induced soil erosion and drastic change in land use practices have adversely infl uenced the land degradation
and surface runoff response in upper Njoro River catchment. The drainage area is approximately 127 km2.

Predictings sediment loading into Masinga reservoir and its storage capacity reduction
(2005-09-07)
It is estimated that the annual loss in storage capacity of the world’s
reservoirs due to sedimentation is around 0.5 – 1.0%. For many reservoirs,
however, annual depletion rates are much higher and can go up to 4% or ...
