Abstract

Sediment management is an important part of river rehabilitation and management. Global case studies provide a growing number of examples of successful sediment augmentation measures that can counter the adverse effects of disturbed sediment regimes. The initial river state and the objectives of the reported measures can vary largely, however. In this review, a summary of selected case studies is presented, and an objective-focused classification of sediment augmentation measures is introduced. Case-specific restrictions, design approaches and assessment methods based on the literature review and our own experience from working in the field are presented. This summary aims to provide an overview on up-to-date knowledge for applied river rehabilitation and management.
