Sediment and Nutrient Retention Capacity of Natural Riverine Wetlands in Southwest Ethiopia
Although wetlands in temperate regions have been studied for their pollutant remediation potential, the sediment and nutrient retention capacity of natural wetlands in tropical environments remains understudied. In this study, a mass balance approach was used to estimate the amount of sediment and n...
