Case studies linking environmental policy developments, social and physical sciences, and river basin management 330 $aSediments are a natural part of aquatic systems and they are essential for the hydrological, geomorphological and ecological functioning of those systems. For society they are important and represent an important resource. However, due to the ever increasing use of river catchments, sediments need to be managed in a balanced and sustainable way. Sediment Management at the River Basin Scale reviews some of the key requirements and challenges facing scientists, river basin managers, and policy makers for sustainable sediment management at the river basin scale, and puts forward important 410 0$aSustainable management of sediment resources 606 $aDredging spoil$xEnvironmental aspects$vCongresses 606 $aSediments (Geology)$xAnalysis$vCongresses 606 $aSoil remediation$vCongresses 606 $aContaminated sediments$vCongresses 615 0$aDredging spoil$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSediments (Geology)$xAnalysis 615 0$aSoil remediation 615 0$aContaminated sediments 676 $a333.73 676 $a363.72/84 676 $a363.7284 701 $aOwens$b Philip N$g(Philip Neil),$f1966-$0858732 712 02$aSedNet (Organization) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816792103321 996 $aSediment management at the river basin scale$94100275 997 $aUNINA
