The Sediment Handbook

The Sediment Handbook is a comprehensive guide that explains the properties, behaviors, and analysis methods of sediments—particles like sand, silt, and clay found in water and soil environments. It provides standardized procedures for sampling, measuring, and interpreting sediment characteristics, helping researchers and engineers understand sediment movement, stability, and impact on ecosystems and infrastructure. The handbook aids in environmental assessments, engineering projects, and pollution control by offering reliable data and techniques for studying sediment dynamics in natural and engineered systems.
