Sediment and Contaminant Transport in Surface Waters

While many books have been written on sediment and contaminant transport, this book takes a more focused approach, highlighting areas that have been recently investigated but not covered thoroughly elsewhere. It emphasizes the erosion, deposition, flocculation, and transport of fine-grained, cohesive sediments; the effects of finite rates of sorption on the transport and fate of hydrophobic contaminants; and the effects of major events such as floods and storms. The text assists readers in the qualitative understanding of and ability to predict the transport of sediments and hydrophobic contaminants in surface areas.
