An examination of how silt has a major impact on the operation
of hydropower projects in terms of the silting of reservoirs, with
particular reference to India where one-third of the Earth's silt
material originates. An effort is made to raise awareness of silt
issues in the minds of hydropower engineers, considering silting
problems in hydropower projects on the Indian sub-continent. Also
under discussion are environmental and economic aspects of silt
management; reduction of silt by implementing ISO 1400 for hilly
projects; technical treatments of reservoir sedimentation,
desilting and its economic optimization, damage mechanisms and
their analysis, and design criteria. Although this book considers
the problem of silting from several viewpoints, it focuses on the
design of hydropower plants in India.
