Abstract

In a 1 in 12 year flood, a large fraction of this sediment was derived from upland areas below two upper basin dams, although >90% of the flow passed through one dam. Uncalibrated daily turbidity data confirm upland basins as the main sediment source, with a small fraction derived from the dams. They also suggest that some suspended sediment, at least in the lower reaches, may be reworked bank material derived from flood plain channel re-alignment. -from Authors
