Sediment in Small Reservoirs Due to Urbanization
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 128, Issue 1
Abstract
Expanding urbanization activities may cause serious sediment deposition in small reservoirs. An example is that of Lake Barcroft near Washington, D. C., where 19 acre-ft or 25,000 tons of sediment has been deposited for each square mile of completed residential construction. Factors affecting the sedimentology processes in areas under urbanization are found to be similar to, but more difficult to evaluate than, those applying to rural conditions.
