Description :
The transfer of sediment through a highly regulated large fluvial system (lower Ebro River) was analysed during 2 consecutive floods by means of sediment sampling. Suspended sediment and bedload transport were measured upstream and downstream of large reservoirs. These results illustrate the magnitude of the sediment deficit in the lower Ebro River. They can be use for the design and implementation of restoration programmes in large, highly degraded fluvial ecosystems, especially in Mediterranean environments.
