Description :
Reliable estimates of sediment-budget errors are important for interpreting sediment-budget results. The AA. modified the sediment fingerprinting approach to qualitatively evaluate compensating errors in an annual (1991) fine sediment budget for the North Halawa Valley, a mountainous, forested drainage basin on the island of Oahu, during construction of a major highway. Sediment and aerosol budgets were developed using data collected in 1991. Differences between sediment-budget and aerosol-budget imbalances provide a measure of compensating errors in the sediment budget.
