Sediment Transport Modelling Using HEC-HMS for Kadambrayar Watershed

Lecture notes in civil engineering 2025

Nitu Haridas, Nisha Luckins

Summary

This study applies the HEC-HMS hydrological model to simulate sediment transport in the Kadambrayar watershed in Kochi, India, where open waste disposal has contaminated local waterways with a range of pollutants including microplastics. Sediment transport modeling is essential for predicting how microplastics bound to particles move through watersheds and ultimately accumulate in downstream aquatic and estuarine environments.

Study Type Environmental

Assesment of transportation of sediment in aquatic ecosystems originating from watersheds is essential to due to its potential role as vectors for contaminants, heavy metals, nutrients, and microplastics. In Kochi, open waste disposal at Brahmapuram has polluted the...
