Sediment Transport Management

Sediment Transport Management involves planning and implementing strategies to control how soil, sand, and other particles move in rivers, streams, and coastal areas. Its goal is to prevent issues like erosion, sediment buildup, and habitat loss, which can harm ecosystems and infrastructure. This is achieved through methods such as construction of barriers, dredging, and planting vegetation to stabilize banks. Proper management ensures water bodies remain healthy, navigable, and resilient against natural and human-made changes, balancing ecological health with economic and community needs.
