The glaciers give way to green-blue water, milky with the fine sediment created as the ice grinds over rock.
Aluminum flocculants have an important role in the flocculation and settling of fine sediment, and are often used to clear muddy water and treat agricultural waste water.
Field experiments were undertaken to examine hydrodynamic effects of estuarine saltmarsh canopies on intertidal fine sediment transport of the Changjiang Estuary.
