Abstract
Fluvial sediment and associated nutrients and chemicals are now acknowledged to be a major cause of contamination in river and lake systems throughout North America. Furthermore, the control of soil erosion and associated stream sedimentation has been labeled a top priority in many countries. Questions which arise are: To what extent is the transport of sediment a problem in Ontario? In fact, how much do we know about sediment transport in Ontario streams? The purpose of this paper is to go some way in answering these questions by addressing more specifically: What are issues currently associated with sediment transported in the Ontario Stream System? How much sediment is being transported? When? How frequently? Where is the sediment coming from? To what extent can we ascertain the sources? Can we begin to articulate sediment control strategies/guidelines?
