Dynamics Of Suspended Sediment Flux On The Rivers Bandon And Owenabue, Ireland, S. T. Harrington, Joseph R. Harrington Dec 2014

Dynamics Of Suspended Sediment Flux On The Rivers Bandon And Owenabue, Ireland, S. T. Harrington, Joseph R. Harrington

Publications

Monitoring, analysis and modelling of suspended sediment transport in riverine systems has received much attention in recent decades. Quantitive analysis techniques have been applied to allow river basin managers to assess suspended sediment transport and its importance in transporting a range of pollutants including excess metals and nutrients, which negatively impact on aquatic systems. In this paper, an analysis of the suspended sediment fl ux (SSF) dynamics is presented for the small and medium sized catchments of the River Owenabue and the River Bandon, respectively. The results contribute to the fi lling of a research gap in an Irish context …


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 Jan 2012

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 …
