Application of mass balance and unmixing model to trace sediment sources in an agricultural catchment


 The application of mass balance and unmixing models has become a powerful approach to trace sediment sources in agricultural catchments. By integrating sediment fingerprinting techniques with these quantitative models, researchers can identify and apportion the contributions of different land use and soil types to sediment loads in streams and rivers. This methodology supports sustainable land management by pinpointing critical erosion hotspots, enabling targeted interventions to reduce sediment yield and mitigate downstream impacts. The use of such models enhances our understanding of sediment dynamics, which is crucial for improving soil conservation practices and maintaining water quality in agricultural landscapes.
