Management of Sediment in New South Wales, Australia
The amount of sediment in major New South Wales rivers and reservoirs is relatively low compared to world averages. This is a result of relatively low erosion rates, the sediment coarseness and numerous sediment sinks between the erodingparts of catchments and the rivers and reservoirs. However, in some locations several problems have required attention. These include: sediment blockage of roads and culverts; sedimentation of small reservoirs and recreational lakes; sedimentation on large alluvial fans; river channel damage casued by low sediment supply; and lack of effective government control over soil erosion and sedimentation in the past. Strategies to overcome these problems start with information collection to pinpoint major problems. This enables the preparation of total catchment management plans. These require proper land-use policies, legislation and education of the public for effective implementation.
