sedimentation management

Sedimentation management refers to the processes and practices used to control the accumulation of sediment in natural and man-made systems, such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Sediment can impact water quality, storage capacity, and aquatic habitats. Effective management involves monitoring sediment levels, implementing erosion control measures, and using techniques like dredging or sediment trapping to maintain water flow and reduce clogging. By managing sediment, we protect ecosystems, improve water quality, and prolong the lifespan of infrastructure, ensuring a balance between human use and environmental health.
