Siltation in reservoirs has become an important problem when dams are getting older and stop functioning when the sediment has accumulated to a certain extent. With proper sediment management techniques, negative effects of sediment can be avoided and reservoir life and performance can be improved.This volume deals with reservoir sedimentation, dep
Dealing with reservoir sedimentation, deposition, and removal, this volume provides the principles of sediment transport and guidelines to predict reservoir life. It presents several removal techniques and cost analysis tools with RESCON open source software, to determine the optimum method for maintenance and operation of a reservoir. Written for professionals and advanced students working on the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of dams and reservoirs, this book include case studies of large dams in Turkey and other countries.
