Sediment and Erosion Control comprehensively examines sediment erosion caused by industrial activity and the potential threats these activities might have on water and aquatic wildlife. Subsequently, the course stresses an importance on regulatory compliance associated with erosion risks and hazards. Therefore, the course provides students a background in causes of erosion and its various forms, solutions to erosion and sedimentation, and how to use technology and nature to mitigate potential harms.
