MANUAL TO IDENTIFY SOURCES OF FLUVIAL SEDIMENT
Gellis, A., F. Fitzpatrick, and J. Schubauer-Berigan.
EPA 600-R-16-210, 117 pp, 2016

Sediment can degrade and alter aquatic habitat. A sediment budget is an accounting of the sources, storage, and export of sediment over a defined spatial and temporal scale. This manual focuses on field approaches to estimate a sediment budget. The objective of this study was to develop a guidance document for sediment source analysis. The guidance document developed synthesized studies that incorporate sediment fingerprinting and sediment budget approaches in agricultural and urban watersheds. https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=P100QVM1.txt
