TL;DR: The authors examines how anthropogenic activity has caused significant changes in the quantity and quality of fine-grained sediment within river systems, using examples of: land use change in New Zealand; the effects of reservoir construction and management in different countries; the interaction between sediment dynamics and fish habitats in British Columbia, Canada; and the management of contaminated sediment in USA rivers.

TL;DR: The Ebro River and its tributaries (North-Eastern Spain) are regulated by over 187 dams, with a total capacity equivalent to 57% of the total mean annual runoff as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The sediment transport of the highly regulated lower Ebro River is estimated on the basis of a measuring programme carried out between 2002 and 2004 as discussed by the authors, where both suspended load and bedload was measured upstream and downstream from the Mequinenza and Riba-roja reservoirs with special attention to the transport during floods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a portable flume to study the hydraulic conditions and rates of bedload transport associated with small, frequent floods in situ within a reach of a gravel bed river.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the variability in the suspended sediment load at different temporal scales (within-flood variability, monthly-seasonal and annual) in the Tordera River (894 km 2 ), located in northeastern Spain.
