Abstract
Study of the problem of modern sedimentation is, in essence, an analysis of the corpus delicti—the waste products—of soil‐erosion. The objectives of such a study are to locate and appraise the effects of erosional waste, to establish the laws that govern the transportation of sediment from its places of origin to its places of deposition, to determine quantitatively the sources of each type of erosional waste causing each type of sedimentation‐damage, and lastly, to develop measures designed to minimize the damages, and, where possible, to create benefits from the stream‐borne sediment. A few of the recent findings will perhaps best illustrate the relation of sedimentation to the dynamics of erosion in this new land of ours.
