The sediment budget of the Lillooet River Basin, British Columbia

Auteur :
SLAYMAKER, O.

Description :
This paper attempts to demonstrate the flexibility of a sediment budget methodology and the value of a step by step approach. The steps that are followed are: an explicit recognition of the time scale of integration of the budget; a recognition and quantification of the major transport processes and storages of sediment and solutes; and the complicating role of biotic factors,weathering, stratigraphy,hydrologic pathways, and spatial scale effects.
