“…For the Pang catchment, mean reference inventory values of 1614 and 1921 Bq m À2 were obtained for the Pangfield and Eling reference sites, respectively, whilst for the Lambourn catchment the corresponding values for the Wyfield and Westfield reference sites were 1743 and 2199 Bq m À2 . The standard deviation values, associated with the 137 Cs inventories measured for each individual sampling location, emphasize the need to use more than a single core to provide a meaningful estimate of the reference inventory (Wallbrink et al, 1994;Ruse and Peart, 1999;Collins et al, 2001a).…”

In many developing countries, the management of sediment-related environmental problems is severely hampered by a lack of information on sediment mobilization and delivery in river basins. The sediment budget concept represents a valuable framework for assembling such information, which can, in turn, be used to assist with the design and implementation of soil erosion and sediment control policies. However, the information necessary to construct a catchment sediment budget is dif®cult to assemble. Against this background, an integrated approach to establishing a catchment suspended sediment budget, involving a river monitoring station, the use of 137 Cs measurements to estimate soil erosion and deposition and¯oodplain accumulation rates within the catchment, and sediment source ®ngerprinting, has been developed and tested in the 63 km 2 catchment of the upper Kaleya River in southern Zambia. The approach developed not only provides detailed information on individual components of the suspended sediment delivery system, but also permits the establishment of the overall catchment sediment budget. A sediment budget for the upper Kaleya catchment is presented and both its key features and its wider implications for catchment management are discussed.
