A comparison of sediment deposition in two adjacent floodplains of the River Adour in southwest France.

Abstract:

:Two floodplains within the catchment of the River Adour (SW France) have been examined in order to analyse spatio-temporal variations in discharge and suspended matter flux. Both floodplain zones were found to be excellent sites for the interception of suspended sediment. The narrow riparian vegetative strips (RVS) within each zone were found to retain 92-98% of the sediment trapped within the floodplain during each of three separate flood events. The precise level of sediment deposited within the floodplain was found to be dependent on micro-topographical features and the nature of the vegetation: the wooded areas within the RVS being particularly effective at trapping sediment. Mean masses of sediment collected in the flood plains ranged from 75 kg m(-2) in the RVS to 0.02 kg m(-2) in the areas of the floodplain inundated by back-up flows. Using data on discharge and sediment fluxes within the catchment gathered over a period of 25 years it is possible to discern how hydroclimatic fluctuations have affected the watershed with periods of sediment retention within the floodplain zones alternating with periods of sediment export. Anthropogenic activity, involving river management, including the cutting of meanders, the construction of dykes for flood prevention and the use of water for agricultural purposes, has also had a major impact during this period, particularly in the downstream areas of the catchment.
