Flocculation/Aggregation of Cohesive Sediments in the Urban Continuum: Implications for Stormwater Management

The urban continuum, as it applies to sediments and associated contaminants, represents the area over/through which sediments are conveyed from a depositional or eroded surface to a treatment system and/or receiving water body. This study has focused on the changing physical characteristics of the sediment, with an emphasis on flocculation/aggregation, as it progresses through the urban continuum. The sediments of the urban continuum are found …
