Sediment accumulation can significantly impact the useful life of dams and the multiple
functions served by those dams such as flood attenuation, hydropower, and water supply …

Sediment accumulation behind a dam is a significant factor in reservoir operation and
watershed management. There are many dams located within the Laurentian Great Lakes …

Quantifying the role of sediment trapping by dams is important due to its control on fluvial
and coastal geomorphology, aquatic ecology, water quality, and human water uses …

Years after the removal of the two dams on the Elwha River, the geomorphology and habitat
of the lower river will be substantially influenced by the sediment load of the free-flowing …

Human population growth and subsequent land use intensification are closely linked to
contemporary increases in sediment and associated contaminants fluxes to fluvial systems …

Previous attempts to estimate the effects of multiple large dams on sediment processes have
ignored two key factors for large spatial and temporal modeling: sediment trapping due to …

Multi‐frequency reservoir survey techniques offer a technological means to verify historic
sediment delivery estimates and to quantify the effectiveness of conservation …

Studies of reservoir sedimentation are vital to understanding scientific and management
issues related to watershed sediment budgets, depositional processes, reservoir operations …

ABSTRACT A sediment mass balance constructed for a 16‐km reach of the Snake River
downstream from Jackson Lake Dam (JLD) indicates that river regulation has reduced the …

A series of small dams were built in Icicle Creek in 1937 to facilitate the operations of
Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. However, several of those dams have been …
