Albert IIlaan 20 bus 161000 Brussels, BelgiumAbstractAntea Group andKULeuven were awarded aproject in Flanders to identify the regions exporting high sediment loads to unnavigable watercourses and the sedimentation zones withinthem. Two types of models are applied: hydrological sediment export models(SEM)and hydraulic sediment transport models(STM)he influence of erosion control measures on sediment export as well as river engineering measures needto be taken into account. A concept will bedeveloped to connect the SEM and STM, enabling the sediment to be routed from upstream to the sedimentation zones. Results of the study will be used by the Flemish government to plan erosion control measures, estimate future sedimentation volumes, steer sedimentation and optimize river engineering and dredging works. Finally, model results could also be used to obtain better insights the resuspension risks of contaminated sediment in watercourses.Key wordssediment transporterosionsedimentation; hydrological model; hydraulic model;rosion control measures
