This project aims to develop a method for quantifying sources and residence times of contaminated sediment in river basins affected by pollution from agriculture and mining. By using sediment tracers, it will help river basin managers understand the potential impact of sedimentary sinks on water quality.
The widespread and costly environmental impacts of sediment and associated contaminants on aquatic ecosystems are recognised by scientists, land managers and policy makers worldwide.
While considerable effort is being made to reduce sediment and contaminant fluxes in European river basins, longer-term storage of contaminants in sedimentary sinks presents a credible threat to achieving EU water quality targets.
Sedimentary sinks could become contaminant sources in the future.
In this context, thi…
