NEAR CHANNEL SEDIMENT SOURCE MANAGEMENT FORUM - January 4, 2012
A builing body of research is indicating that near-channel sediments are a significant contributor to our sedimentation and turbidity challenges: however, meaningful near-channel source sediment reductions are extremely challenging. The forum explored the history, drivers, and consequences of our near-channel erosion conundrum. The presentations listed below are made available to help explain the erosional processes, management options, and prioritization strategies. This forum was sponsored by the Minnesota River Board and the Water Resources Center, Minnesota State University, Mankato.
