Book excerpt: Research on reservoir sedimentation in recent years has been aimed mainly at water resources projects in developing countries. These countries, especially in Africa, often have to cope with long droughts, flash floods and severe erosion problems. Large reservoir capacities are required to capture water provided by flash floods so as to ensure the supply of water in periods of drought. The problem arising however is that these floods, due to their tremendous stream power, carry enormous volumes of sediment which, due to the size of reservoirs, are virtually deposited in toto in the reservoir basin, leading to fast deterioration of a costly investment. Accurate forecasting of reservoir behaviour is therefore of the utmost importance.This book fills a gap in current literature by providing in one volume comprehensive coverage of techniques required to practically investigate the effects sediment deposition in reservoirs has on the viability of water resources projects. Current techniques for practically estimating sediment yield from catchments, estimating the volume of sediment expected to deposit in reservoirs, predicting sediment distribution and calculating scour downstream of reservoirs are evaluated and presented. The liberal use of diagrams and graphs to explain the various techniques enhances understanding and makes practical application simple. A major feature of the book is the application of stream power theory to explain the process of reservoir sedimentation and to develop four new methods for predicting sediment distribution in reservoirs.The book is primarily directed at practising engineers involved in the planning and design of water resources projects and at post-graduate students interested in this field of study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.Th

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT--OVERSTOCK SALE --Significantly reduced list price while supplies last The Erosion and Sedimentation Manual provides a comprehensive coverage of subjects in nine chapters (i.e., introduction, erosion and reservoir sedimentation, noncohesive sediment transport, cohesive sediment transport, sediment modeling for rivers and reservoirs, sustainable development and use of reservoirs, river process and restoration, dam decommissioning and sediment management, and reservoir surveys and data analysis). Each chapter is self-contained, with cross references of subjects that are discussed in different chapters of this manual. The manual also includes a list of commonly used notations used in the erosion and sedimentation literature, conversion factors between the Imperial and metric units, physical properties of water, and author and subject indexes for easy reference. Each chapter has a list of reference for readers who would like to seek out more detailed information on specific subjects. Audience The manual would be useful for researchers, university professors, graduate students, geologists, hydrographic survey analysts, municipal and state water research specialists, and engineers in solving erosion and sedimentation problems.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive reservoir simulation scheme has been developed to estimate changes in the reservoir profile due to sedimentation over any length of reservoir operation. The model includes several input submodels, e.g., time series models for generating sequences of water inflow, sediment inflow, and evapoartion, and an operating submodel to supply necessary input data to the sedimentation submodel, which forms the heart of the simulation scheme. The sedimentation submodel estimates the total volume of sediment trapped in the reservoir in a selected time interval, and then distributes this over the height of the reservoir, based on a modified version of Borland and Miller's (1960) empirical area-reduction method. This modification enables the use of the model for any interval of sedimentation, while Borland's original method is applicable only for large (10 years or more) sedimentation periods. Deposited sediments are compacted and necessary corrections are applied to remove anomalies caused by slumping due to differential compaction of different sediment components (sand, silt, and clay) in the vicinity of the 'zero' elevation and at the sediment zone interfaces. The simulation model, at the end of each time interval, outputs the water outflow, the reservoir pool elevation, the volume of deposited sediment with its distribution over the reservoir height, the resulting new zero elevation, and the adjusted elevation-area-volume relationship.
