Revision of the Procedure to Compute Sediment Distribution in Large Reservoirs

摘要

The procedure outlined herein is a revision to one presented earlier by Borland and Miller (1960) on the computation of sediment distribution in large reservoirs. Moody (1962) developed this revised procedure which entails (1) the elimination of the trial and error method to determine the depth of sediment deposited at the dam, and (2) the revision of the existing design curves of the four different types of reservoirs. Included in this report are the description of the procedure developed by Moody and a detailed example of the computational process.
