This paper reviews contemporary practice in regional sediment management, with respect to rehabilitation design. Historically, these issues were rarely addressed effectively leading to many project failures. Recently, however, there has been an increased consideration of regional sediment issues. This movement has been complemented by the development of an increasing number of design approaches that include sediment continuity as an integral part of their design procedure. Of paramount importance is that we learn from these experiences through the undertaking and dissemination of Post-Project Appraisals. The development of a standardised geomorphic Post-Project Appraisal Procedure (PPA) has thus been furthered to focus specifically on regional sediment issues. The refinement and testing of all these techniques is essential for enhancing future design practice.
