Description :
This paper presents the results of measurements of floodplain sedimentation using sediment traps. The study was carried out on two embanked floodplains along the Rivers Rhine and Meuse in the Netherlands during a 3 day flood in january 1993. Raster maps of sediment accumulation were made by interpolating the measurements from the traps using block kriging. The observed patterns of sediment accumulation are related to floodplain topography and possible sediment transporting mechanisms.
