Previous reservoir sedimentation models have ignored two key factors for large spatial and
temporal modeling of multiple reservoirs: trapping by upstream dams and decreasing …

Most existing models are unable to model large spatial pattern of reservoir sedimentation
due to the difficulty in accounting for trapping by upstream reservoirs in a multiple reservoir …

Reservoir sedimentation is a complex process that varies with watershed sediment
production, rate of transportation, and mode of deposition. Sedimentation reduces reservoir …

Even after hundreds of years of designing and constructing dams and reservoirs, man docs
not completely understand the sedimentation processes in reservoirs. For example, we still …

Sediment deposition in water reservoirs has major implications for storage capacity,
reservoir lifetime, and water quality. Changes in rainfall patterns and land use will …

Reservoir sedimentation is often seen as a site-specific process and is usually assessed at
an individual reservoir level. At the same time, it takes place everywhere in the world …

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

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 …

The ability to predict the effects of dam removal in highly sediment-filled systems is
increasingly important as the number of such dam removal cases continues to grow. The …

Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes
containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the …
