This presentation from Bronwyn Scallan, Sediment Project Manager and Sediment Task Force Coordinator at Perth NRM, details the impacts of uncontrolled sediment loss and the reasons it should be managed.
Further, research into the quantity of sediment discharge was undertaken, quantifying the large volumes of sediment discharged from residential construction sites. Additionally, the economic cost of this issue is outlined, accounting for rehabilitation and maintenance costs that could be avoided with better initial management.
Finally, case studies of best practice sediment control are discussed, with key actions outlined.
