Seasonal variation in flocculation potential of river water: roles of algal and terrestrial organic matter KU Leuven
Organic matter in the water environment can enhance either flocculation or stabilization and thus controls the fate and transportation of cohesive sediments and causes seasonal variation in the turbidity of river water, determining floc morphology and settling velocity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the way that biological factors change the organic matter composition and enhances either flocculation and stabilization in different ...
