Abstract
Contaminants such as heavy metals or organic pollutants are adsorbed to fine sediment particles which are transported through the river system and deposited in the regions of low flow velocities. This results in potential sources of contaminants called “hot spots” which can be eroded by floods causing deterioration of the river water quality. Therefore, the erosion, transport and deposition of contaminated sediments play a significant role in water resources engineering and management. It is a challenging task to model and predict the pathway and fate of contaminated sediments with emphasis on their spatial and temporal distribution in surface waters.
