Question 1

What is resuspension?

  • A process of sediment settling
  • A process of sediment being stirred back into water
  • A type of water filtration

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when water turbulence increases.

Question 2

True or False: Resuspended sediments can contain harmful contaminants.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the contaminants that could be contained in sediments.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a sediment concentration of 100 mg/g and a TSS of 2000 mg/L, calculate the potential contaminant concentration in the water assuming all suspended solids are evenly distributed.

💡 Hint: Think about how the concentration of suspended solids relates to the mass of contaminants.

Question 2

Explain the potential ecological ramifications of increased sediment resuspension due to human activities like dredging.

💡 Hint: Consider both chemical and biological impacts.
