Economics of Using Sediment-Entrapment Reduction Measures in Lake and ReservoirDesign

摘要

One of the most important impacts of building and maintaining a reservoir is theloss of storage capacity caused by sediment deposition behind the dam. Sediment deposition in the reservoir reduces the water storage volume and decreases or even negates the utility of the dam, and deteriorates the water quality. The objective of the study was to investigate, through an extensive literature search, the suitability and efficiency of several reservoir-sedimentation
