The sand budget for the Zeeschelde and its tributaries (Durme, Rupel) for different periods: 2011-2016, 2016-2019, and 2019-2022. These data present the results of the sand budget. Based on the basic data (topographic bathymetry, intervention data, fluvial upstream supply, sediment samples per ecotope), the mass conservation is calculated for each segment in order to calculate the residual sand transport. moreThe basis for determining the sediment balance is a calculation of the volume difference between two topo-bathymetric surveys of the Zeeschelde, Rupel and Durme. These volume differences are calculated in boxes (OMES segments) and are the result of sediment transport at the upstream and downstream edges of each box, along with human interventions (dredging, dumping, extraction) and import of fluvial sediment. Using the sediment composition—determined from samples taken throughout the estuary—a distinction could be made between the sand and mud fractions, and taking porosity into account, the residual transports (ton/year) between boxes were determined.
