Sediment And Nutrient Behaviour On The River Bandon, Ireland, S. T. Harrington, Joseph R. Harrington
Sediment And Nutrient Behaviour On The River Bandon, Ireland, S. T. Harrington, Joseph R. Harrington
Conference Papers
This paper presents aspects of sediment and nutrient behaviour on the River Bandon which is located in the South Western River Basin District in Ireland; it is a relatively large sized river catchment in an Irish context with a catchment area of 608 km2. The river catchment is primarily agricultural with some pockets of urban development. The river is prone to flooding on stretches, features a number of special areas of conservation and is distinguished by both suspended and bed load transport. Continuous monitoring of turbidity commenced in February 2010. Manual sampling and testing for suspended sediment concentration and a …
The Influence Of Storm Based Events On The Suspended Sediment Flux In A Small Scale River Catchment In Ireland, Sean T. Harrington, Joseph R. Harrington
The Influence Of Storm Based Events On The Suspended Sediment Flux In A Small Scale River Catchment In Ireland, Sean T. Harrington, Joseph R. Harrington
Conference Papers
Fine sediment plays a key role in the transport of contaminants in rivers and the quantification of suspended sediment flux is important to understanding and managing river catchments in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). Recent European studies identified Ireland as having a paucity of sediment and sediment associated pollutant concentration and flux data. This paper presents the results of a continuous monitoring programme on a small scale catchment (105 km2 ) in Ireland, the River Owenabue, which is located in the South Western River Basin District. Analysis was undertaken to determine event based fluxes and their …
