Sedimentation definition

Sedimentation means a process for removal of solids before filtration by gravity or separation.
Sedimentation means soil particles suspended in stormwater that can settle in stream beds.
Sedimentation means the action or process of forming or depositing sediment.

  • In addition, County LUO Section 22.52.120 requires the preparation and implementation of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan for all construction and grading projects to minimize potential short- and long-term impacts related to erosion and sedimentation, and includes requirements for specific erosion control materials, setbacks from creeks, and siltation.

  • Sedimentation as a result of the construction of the reclamation is predicted to be very low and if it did occur would be negligible, very localised and short-term.

  • Sedimentation and blockage of wetland channels has resulted in changed floodplain discharge patterns, and a number of channels have been cleared to try to re-establish flood patterns.

  • In partnership with the Science and Innovation Team, this work seeks to develop a Sedimentation Response Strategy for the long term management of sediment in the Lower Manawatu and Oroua Rivers.
