Paper Summary

The study analyzed sediment transport in the Upper Sangamon River Basin to understand how sediment moves through the watershed. Researchers used a model to simulate sediment transport and examined four sediment signatures to describe the behavior of the watershed. The results showed that the sediment signatures were consistent and matched the agricultural activities in the area.
