Add/feed sediment
Add/feed sediment02. Sediment flow quantity improvement
General description
Applicability
Expected effect of measure on (including literature citations):
- HYMO (general and specified per HYMO element)
- physico � chemical parameters
- Biota (general and specified per Biological quality elements)
Temporal and spatial response
Pressures that can be addressed by this measure
- Artificial barriers upstream from the site
- Channelisation / cross section alteration
- Alteration of instream habitat
Cost-efficiency
Artificial sediment addition is a very costly enterprise which furthermore is not sustainable. In addition artificial sediment addition is consuming land and material for gravel excavation with negative ecological side effects and indirect cost. Therefore proper hydraulic structures and sediment transfer should be given way wherever possible.
