About the Book: Reservoir Sedimentation
Reservoir Sedimentation: Assessment and Environmental Controls appraises the
issues of sedimentation in reservoirs and discusses measures that can be
employed for the effective management of sediment to prolong the operational
life of reservoirs. It provides information for professional consultants and
policymakers to enable them to manage dams in the best possible way, in order to
ensure their sustainability as well as the sustainability of water resources in
general. It examines the effects of anthropogenic intervention and management of
sediment in dams and reservoirs, as water resources become more sensitive and
the demand for clean water continues to increase.
