Estimating the sediment trap efficiency of intermittently dry reservoirs: lessons from the Kruger National Park, South Africa
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4263
Abstract: The assessment of sediment yield from reservoir siltation requires knowledge of the reservoir's sediment trap efficiency (TE). Widely used approaches for the estimation of the long-term mean TE rely on the ratio of the reservoir's… read more here.
