Description :
The objectives of this study are to make an assessment of the variability in dry sediment bulk density (dbD) between and within small flood retention ponds in central Belgium and to look at the factors controlling this variability. It will further be evaluated if the various existing dry sediment bulk density prediction techniques for large reservoirs can be used in another environment, i.e. small ponds, and what the implications of their use are for the calculation of sediment yield.
