Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Build-up of sediments in urban streams and flood detention ponds in the southwestern arid environment of the United States require regular cleaning, costly, and negatively impacts water quality and aquatic life. Most of the sediments originate from empty lots in urban areas and neighboring watersheds and are transported to streams and flood detention ponds by mainly flood runoff during storm events and occasionally by wind. A common practice is to construct a sediment trap or artificial barriers within the watercourse which also requires regular maintenance. This study investigates the use of native inland-saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) as a riparian buffer to trap sediments along ponds and urban streams.
