The article discusses how sediment is eroded by various factors like land erosion, local scour, and hydraulic structures. The researchers are working on a Sedimentation Manual to understand sediment transportation mechanics better. They found that sediment can be eroded by jets and can lead to degradation or aggradation of the land.
