Despite the mechanisms of reservoir sedimentation being well known
for a long time, sustainable and preventive measures are rarely
taken into consideration in the design of new reservoirs. To avoid
operational problems of powerhouses, sedimentation is often treated
for existing reservoirs with measures which are efficient only for
a limited time. The today's challenge of dam owners and engineers
is to guarantee with adequate mitigation measures the future
sustainable use of the vital reservoirs supplying water for
drinking, food and energy production. Research and development is
still urgently needed to identify efficient mitigation measures
adapted to the main sedimentation processes involved in reservoirs.
During the seventh International Conference on Fluvial Hydraulics
"River Flow 2014" at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne
(EPFL), Switzerland, scientists and professionals from all over the
world addressed the challenge of reservoir sedimentation in a
special session and exchanged their knowledge and experiences.
Invited and selected contributions, which give an overview on the
latest developments and research regarding reservoir sedimentation
including case studies, are presented in this book, in the hope
that they can contribute to better sustainable use of the vital
reservoirs worldwide.
