“…In this regard a lot of published studies exist on factors influencing catchment sediment yield in both tropical and extra tropical regions (e.g. Smets et al, 2008;Peng, 2008 in United States;Bracken and Kirk-by, 2005;Nadal and Reques, 2008;Noenu et al, 2010;Fang et al, 2012;Nu-Fang et al, 2012;Taguas et al, 2013 in Spain;Lopez et al, 2010 in Italy;Wei et al, 2007;Zeng et al, 2008 in China;Adriana et al, 2012 in France;Ogunkoya, 1980;Ogunkoya and Jeje, 1987;Oluwatimilehin, 1991;Jeje et al, 1999;Adediji and Jeje, 2004;Adediji et al, 2013 in Southwestern Nigeria). For example, Slattery and Phillips (2010) in central Spain observed that land use changes determine the spatial and temporal evolution of plant cover, which directly influences trends in water resources, soil erosion and conservation.…”

The sediment dynamics in a small 2nd order catchment of River Awba in the territory of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria was investigated between January and December 2012. The river was gauged by daily measurements of water level as well as sampling of water for determination of suspended sediment load. In this regard, apart from weekly sample, twelve (12) storm flow events which occurred during the day were sampled for determination of suspended sediment concentration. The results showed that during the storms the suspended sediment concentration varied between 636 mg/l in May and 3641.5 mg/l in September, with a mean of 2136.8 mg/l. Also, the value of monthly suspended sediment yield ranged from 10.85 kg in January to 288.4 kg in October with a mean of 89.5 kg. The variability in monthly sediment load closely followed the trend of monthly rainfall in the study area. However, in order to minimize the storm runoff and sediment load generated from the rainstorms events, the paved surfaces within the study catchment should be grassed with the planting of some few tree species. This could further reduce the rate of floods occurrence.
