Abstract:Sediment source fingerprinting is intended to provide the source of the sediment carried in fluvial systems. The suspended sediment load carried by a river or stream will be a mixture of sediment from many sources and sites within the contributing catchment. This study uses sediment fingerprinting approach to investigate the sources of sediments into the wellington reservoir of Tamilnadu, India. The sediment samples were analyzed for several potential fingerprint characteristics in the laboratory. By comparing… Show more
