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, deposition and removal. It provides
the principles of sediment transport and gives guidelines to
predict reservoir life. It presents several removal techniques,
accompanied with detailed operation descriptions. With the help of
the RESCON open source software, cost analysis tools to determine
the optimum method for maintenance and operation of a reservoir can
be applied. To illustrate practice and to assist the reader in
setting up a sediment management operation, a number of case
studies of existing large dams are included. Written by two experts
on reservoir operation, this volume is intended for professionals
and advanced students working on dam and reservoir design,
construction, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation.
