DOWNLOAD EBOOKResearch 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite 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

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs reservoir sedimentation has proven to be a serious problem in South Africa, research in this field has been ongoing for more than 70 years. This publication emanates from extensive research which has been undertaken over the past 30 years with the support of the South African Department of Water and Sanitation as well as the South African Water Research Commission. A great deal of information has fortunately also been obtained from China. Given the universal nature of hydraulic formulae it is not surprising, yet gratifying, that Chinese and South African data generally conform to the same mathematical relationships. This indicates that these relationships should be applicable in other countries as well. Much of the information contained here has been condensed from a more comprehensive publication. This ICOLD Bulletin follows on Bulletin 115 “Dealing with reservoir sedimentation”, which gave guidelines for management of reservoirs to limit sedimentation. The guidelines on mathematical modelling of sediment transport dynamics in reservoirs in this document can be used during the planning and design of new dams, as well as for the management of existing dams. Comme la sédimentation dans les réservoirs s'est avérée être un problème sérieux en Afrique du Sud, la recherche dans ce domaine est en cours depuis plus de 70 ans. Cette publication émane de la recherche étendue qui a été menée au cours des 30 dernières années avec l'appui du ministère sud-africain de l’eau et de l’assainissement, ainsi que de la commission sud-africaine de recherche sur l'eau. Un grand nombre d'informations ont également été obtenues de la part de la Chine. Étant donné le caractère universel de formules hydrauliques, il n'est pas surprenant, mais très gratifiant, que les données chinoises et sud-africaines se conforment généralement aux mêmes relations mathématiques. Ceci indique que ces relations devraient être applicables dans d'autres pays également. Une grande partie de l'information contenue ici a été condensée à partir d'une publication plus complète. Ce bulletin CIGB fait suite au bulletin 115 "Traité sur la sédimentation dans les réservoirs", qui a donné des directives pour la gestion des réservoirs en vue de limiter la sédimentation. Les directives sur la modélisation mathématique de la dynamique de transport des sédiments dans les réservoirs de ce présent document peuvent être utilisées lors de la planification et la conception de nouveaux barrages et pour la gestion des barrages existants.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores many recent techniques including ANN, fuzzy logic, hydraulic models and IWRM utilized for integrated water resources management, a real challenge in India for obtaining high irrigation efficiency. The book deals with topics of current interest, such as climate change, floods, drought, and hydrological extremes. The impact of climate change on water resources is drawing worldwide attention these days; for water resources, many countries are already stressed and climate change along with burgeoning population, rising standard of living, and increasing demand are adding to the stress. Further, river basins are becoming less resilient to climatic vagaries. Fundamental to addressing these issues is hydrological modelling which is covered in this book Further, integrated water resources management is vital to ensure water and food security. Integral to the management is groundwater and solute transport. The book encompasses tools that will be useful to mitigate the adverse consequences of natural disasters.
