Abstract

Increasing levels of turbidity reported for parts of the Norfolk Broads over the last century have been attributed to algal growth. This paper demonstrates how the resuspension of bed sediments by a single moving boat is possible, and how the diurnal variation of boat traffic movement has distinct effects on patterns of suspended sediment concentration and hence turbidity. Control of boat speed and frequency thus has important implications for the management of turbidity levels in Broadland.
