Why is sediment management a strategic issue for river basins?
- The role of sediments in the functioning of river basins
- Socio-economic and ecological consequences of changes in sediment dynamics
- Main factors contributing to sediment imbalance at the basin scale
- The cost of inaction and the need for action at the basin scale
Essential scientific principles for practitioners
- Main sedimentary processes
- Assessment and monitoring at the basin scale
Taking action: strategies and operational measures
- Towards an integrated sediment management strategy
- Anticipating sediment dynamics and preserving sediment continuity
- Restoring sediment continuity and river functions
- Sediment management in the context of climate change
Governance, cooperation and implementation
- Institutional and regulatory frameworks

This handbook is co-published by INBO, the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) and the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR).

INBO Newsletter

For the annual issue of the INBO Newsletter, we receive your contributions dealing with your activities during the year from 1 October to 31 December, for publication at the beginning of the following year.

These could cover your network’s activities over the past year, reflections on current events, innovative programmes and projects, analyses of public policies or relevant tools.

Contributions will focus on the results and lessons learnt, with background information, the issues at stake, the difficulties to be overcome and the solutions adopted.

Some examples of themes:

Financing: the ‘user pays’ and ‘polluter pays’ principles, the role of governments, local authorities, citizens and donors, the price of water, etc.

Governance: participatory and cross-sector management, legal and institutional frameworks, public policies, etc.,

Knowledge: data collection and processing, qualitative and quantitative monitoring networks, remote and satellite sensing, warning systems, water information systems, training, etc.,

Planning: inventory/diagnosis of water resources, identification of priorities, development and implementation of basin strategies and plans.
