South America: Grainsize distribution monitoring

SRK has been involved in various studies relating to river dynamics for a confidential client to inform decisions on the reclamation of watercourses impacted by mining activities. One study involves the evaluation of riverbed sediment grain size distributions and the change in these with time. The approach is to develop a database of sediment grain size distributions over the years for statistical analyses to identify parameters that could be used as reliable indicators of river stability.
