Sediment management refers to the process of controlling and maintaining sediment in various environments, such as rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. It involves strategies to prevent excessive sediment buildup, which can lead to issues like flooding, habitat loss, and water quality degradation. Effective sediment management helps maintain the balance of ecosystems and supports infrastructure stability. Techniques used in sediment management include dredging, sediment trapping, and the restoration of natural sediment transport processes. By implementing these methods, communities can protect their waterways, enhance aquatic habitats, and ensure the longevity of structures like dams and levees.
