THE ASSESSMENT OF FINE SEDIMENT ACCUMULATION IN RIVERS USING MACRO-INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY RESPONSE

ABSTRACT Increased fine sediment deposition and entrainment in rivers can arise from a combination of factors including low flows, habitat modification and excessive sediment delivery from the catchment. Physical and visual methods have traditionally been used to quantify the volume of deposited fin...
