Description Land clearing and grading have adverse effects
on lagoon, mangrove and other estuarine coastal
ecosystems due to sediment transportation.
Experiments have shown that the erosive power of
water flowing with a velocity ‘V’, varies as ‘V2’ while
the transporting ability of water increases to a velocity
of ‘V6’. Sediments, which move as bed load at one
section may be in suspension at another section.
As the silt originates from the watershed, the
characteristics of the catchment area such as it’s aerial
extent, soil types, land slopes, vegetal cover and
climatic conditions like temperature and intensity of
rainfall have great significance in the sediment
production in the form of sheet erosion, gully erosion
and stream channel erosion
