Climate Change Impacts on Sediment Quality of Subalpine Reservoirs: Implications on Management

Reservoirs are characterized by accumulation of sediments where micropollutants may concentrate, with potential toxic effects on downstream river ecosystems. However, sediment management such as flushing is needed to maintain storage capacity. Climate change is expected to increase sediment loads, b...
