“…Sediment transport related concerns include the sustainability of aquatic biology, the stability of river morphology, and the security and vulnerability of various riverine structures (CEI 2018;Tetreault et al, 2018). More specifically, the concerns are related to the acceleration of upland erosion (sediment production) and in-stream sediment-transport processes (i.e., aggradation, scouring, and deposition), which eventually lead to sediment accumulation at culverts.…”
