This document discusses reservoir sedimentation, including its causes and mitigation strategies. It notes that geological investigation of the land, hydrology, hydrogeology, and geology are essential for planning dams and reservoirs. Several methods to control sedimentation are described, such as reducing sediment inflow, routing sediments, sediment removal, providing large storage volumes, and sediment placement. Afforestation, check dams, and operating reservoirs to discharge sediment during floods while retaining water during dry seasons can also help address the problem. Desilting of reservoirs in India needs to be prioritized, as silt deposits have reduced water storage capacity by 30-40% in major dams.
Reservoir sedimentation causes and mitigationPramoda Raj

India's water storage reservoirs are significantly losing capacity due to sediment deposition.
A REVIEW ON RESERVOIR SEDIMENTATION STUDIES USING SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING TE...ijiert bestjournal
Sedimentation in the reservoir gradually reduces it s storage capacity. By keeping a check on the sedimentation and by providing control measures for the same,the reservoir life can be maintained. Uj jani dam was constructed for irrigation,water supply an d power generation schemes. It lies in Solapur dist rict which is a drought prone area. This makes Ujjani a socially and economically significant project for t he state. In the present study,reservoir sedimentatio n for Ujjani reservoir is assessed for monitoring p urpose. Two techniques namely Satellite Remote Sensing Tech nique (SRST) and mathematical modeling using HEC RAS,were used in the study for estimating sedi mentation. Owing to advantages like low cost,time saving,less manpower requirement,accuracy in esti mation and capability of carrying out past surveys,the Satellite Remote Sensing Technique is gaining impor tance over the time consuming and high cost conventional hydrographic surveys. The water spread areas for different reservoir levels were delineat ed from the satellite images of Ujjain Reservoir using ARC GIS software. Volume between two water levels was calculated using prismoidul formula. The presen t volume of reservoir was compared with the initial volume during impoundment of reservoir. This gave t he loss of volume which was due to sedimentation.
1. Water resources are essential for development but face increasing challenges from climate change, demand, and sedimentation. Reservoirs constructed on rivers are prone to sedimentation over time, reducing their storage capacity.
2. Sedimentation in reservoirs occurs as sediment particles from the watershed settle in the reservoir due to decreased flow speeds. This reduces the reservoir's storage potential and can impact downstream soil fertility and biodiversity. Assessing sedimentation is important for reservoir management.
3. Remote sensing techniques provide an alternative method for assessing reservoir sedimentation that is more expedient and efficient than traditional surveys. Satellite imagery can be used to measure changes in reservoir water spreads at different elevations over time, indicating loss of storage capacity
This document discusses artificial groundwater recharge. It begins by defining groundwater and artificial recharge. It then discusses the importance of artificial recharge due to issues like groundwater depletion and drinking water shortages. The document outlines various methods of artificial recharge like spreading methods, recharge shafts, injection wells, and induced recharge. It discusses advantages like increased groundwater availability and disadvantages like potential contamination.

In Hong Kong, studying Geography is categorized as useless because the culture of British Meritocracy here stresses the achievements of business studies. However, if going back to Mainland China or having a travel to either the US or Australia, you will find that your knowledge on Geography is very useful because the ruling regimes there greatly acknowledge the elites who graduated from the field of Agricultural Research.
Cynical people without a longsighted vision use to criticize that my Master Degree of China Studies is something too abstract because they use to be British-Hong Kong colonial debrises. However, they never know that, during my two-year research life in this academic department, I did render some challenging topics including the river-management and dam-construction issues of Mainland China. Just like what Mr. Tung Chee-hwa said in 2014 during a press conference: "Our country is rapidly growing up as a strong economic power. To my greatest disappointment, Hong Kong people still lack a long-sighted vision, and they are unwilling to change their perceptions." So, such group of people will never understand the scholastic efforts I have input in this holistic social-science learning experience.
W.A.R.(waterabsorbingroad): New technique for road construction using permeab...SaurabhPawar76
This document presents a study on a new technique called Water Absorbing Road (W.A.R.) that uses permeable pavement for road construction. The study examines the use of permeable concrete, asphalt, and pavers that allow stormwater to enter and be filtered. Benefits include reduced runoff and flooding, improved water quality by trapping pollutants, and increased road safety and durability. The study tests compressive strengths of permeable and conventional concrete. Maintenance and costs are also compared. The research methodology examines hydrological and structural design. Potential benefits are groundwater recharge and reduced need for drainage systems, while challenges include needing specialized construction and potential clogging over time.
A watershed is defined as the region of land where all surface water drains to a common waterbody such as a river, lake, or ocean. Watersheds are important because they provide sources of fresh water and act as natural filters. However, watersheds can be damaged through activities like deforestation, agriculture, dams, water consumption, and climate change which increase runoff and sedimentation in rivers. It is important to protect watersheds by planting trees, conserving water use, and reducing pollution from fertilizers, waste, and vehicles.
Hydro is the most well-established form of renewable electricity production.
Hydro comprised about 80% of all of the renewable electricity capacity in the world, and accounted for about 20% of global electricity production capacity.
Hydropower is also the most efficient means we know of to convert energy into electricity.
Typically 85%-95% of the energy in water is converted to electricity, compared to 15%-20% for PV solar, 35%-45% for wind, and 30%-45% for coal.
Ecological impacts of dams & water diversions MrJewett
Dams and water diversions can have both positive and negative ecological impacts. Positively, dams provide benefits like hydropower, irrigation, flood control and more. However, they can also harm wildlife such as disrupting fish migration and reducing sediments downstream. This impacts wetland species and water quality. Dams may also cause erosion of downstream areas and change water temperature, flow and salinity levels. Large dam projects have additionally displaced many people from their homes. Examples highlighted are the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.
Flood mitigation reservoirs are constructed to store flood waters and reduce downstream flooding. The key factors in reservoir location and sizing include topography, geology, local conditions, rim stability, and water holding capability. Larger reservoirs can store more flood water but economic factors also influence sizing. Operational problems include needing streamflow forecasts to plan releases and the potential to exacerbate flooding if excess releases synchronize with tributary floods. Major flood mitigation reservoirs in the Philippines include Angat, Ambuklao, Pantabangan, La Mesa, and San Roque Dams.

The mission focuses on evaluating learning outcomes, research aptitude, identifying areas of focus based on needs, and developing human potential. The contents include sources of water supply, intake and transportation of water. Sources are classified as surface water from lakes/streams/rivers/reservoirs and underground sources from wells/springs/infiltration. Intakes are structures that admit and convey water from sources to treatment plants and considerations for their design are discussed.
The document provides an overview of water resources management and hydrology. It discusses the goals of understanding hydrologic processes and solving water-related problems. Key topics covered include the water cycle, what hydrologists study and do, examples of ancient hydrologic history like the Nile River, major global water usage, water scarcity issues, and the shrinking of the Aral Sea as an example of poor water management.
This document provides an introduction and overview of artificial groundwater recharge in India. It discusses that groundwater is an increasingly important source of water in India to meet demands for irrigation, drinking, and industry. However, over-extraction of groundwater has led to declining water levels and quality issues in many areas. The Central Ground Water Board has implemented pilot artificial recharge schemes since the 8th Five Year Plan to augment groundwater resources in a sustainable manner. This manual aims to provide guidance on planning, designing, and implementing effective artificial recharge schemes based on hydrogeological investigations and technical and economic evaluations. It covers topics like source water assessment, site selection, recharge structure design, and monitoring of schemes.
Siltation reduces the storage capacity of reservoirs over time. The document discusses various causes of siltation including sediment transport, erosion, landslides, and lack of vegetation. Effects of siltation include reduced water supply and hydropower generation. Remedial measures discussed include sediment traps, detention basins, and vegetative screens to reduce sediment flow into reservoirs. Maintaining reservoir capacity through disiltation techniques is important to prevent issues like flooding.
The type of handpump technology suitable for a particular area depends on the groundwater level, water quality and hydrogeological conditions. There are some areas like the costal belt in the southern part of Bangladesh, where the conventional shallow and deep tubewlls technologies are not successful due to the high salinity. Alternative water supply options are needed for those areas.
This document discusses using green infrastructure to address stormwater issues around the Atlanta University Center (AUC). It proposes designing a rain garden and running water fountain in an area of Clark Atlanta University called the "Bird Cage" that often floods. This project would capture and retain stormwater runoff to reduce pollution flowing into the Proctor Creek Watershed and prevent overflow of the sewage system. The design aims to minimize impervious surfaces and allow natural percolation of water while providing an attractive feature for the campus.
1. Flooding in India is primarily caused by heavy rainfall during the monsoon season from June to October, which exceeds the capacity of rivers to contain the flows.
2. Structural flood mitigation measures include embankments, levees, flood walls, channel improvements, and diversion works to contain flood waters. Non-structural measures include flood plain zoning, forecasting, and proofing.
3. Flood damage analysis considers both tangible losses that can be estimated monetarily, such as property and crops, as well as intangible losses which are more difficult to value, like loss of life, health impacts, and social effects.

The Lakeview Estates Lake Association (LELA) manages two reservoirs near Lexington, Kentucky that are used recreationally but impacted by surrounding urban development. LELA requested help monitoring water quality and mitigating impacts. A team tested water quality parameters biweekly at nine outfalls over four months. They developed a website to communicate advisories and tested a settling vault to reduce pollutants. The website was functional but resident feedback was not collected. Further testing of solutions on-site and gathering resident input could help tailor efforts to best benefit the community.
This document discusses how trees and forests can help reduce flooding. It provides several ways that vegetation can control floods:
1. Trees intercept rainfall with their canopies, reducing the amount of water reaching the ground by up to 45%. Their roots also absorb water and reinforce riverbanks.
2. Forest soils are better able to absorb and store rainwater due to their open structure and root networks, slowing runoff.
3. Trees and debris in streams increase hydraulic roughness, slowing flood velocities and allowing floodwaters to spread out across floodplains.
4. Maintaining vegetated buffers along waterways provides multiple flood-control benefits like reducing erosion, filtering sediment, and stabilizing banks. The

Solutions involve developing workforce training programs, resource augmentation, infrastructure improvements, and ecosystem rehabilitation. On the demand side, challenges are poverty, population growth, economic development, and insufficient recycling and conservation. Proposed solutions center around expanding access, integrated planning, incentives for alternative uses like reuse and desalination, and public education campaigns. The document stresses an integrated approach across supply and demand to promote water sector sustainability.
The document summarizes the Trees on the River Uck project, which aims to employ natural flood management techniques in the River Uck catchment in East Sussex. The project was formed in 2012 by the Woodland Trust, Sussex Wildlife Trust, and Environment Agency to address historic flooding issues in Uckfield through approaches like floodplain woodland planting, hedgerow restoration, and large woody dams. The project also seeks to improve river health and biodiversity. It works with landowners and uses an overflow model to identify priority areas for natural flood management interventions. Challenges include the time needed for techniques to be effective and engaging diverse stakeholders in the catchment.
This document summarizes two case studies on innovative approaches to urban flood management. The first case study examines a sustainable rainwater utilization system implemented at Tianjin University in China. It describes how low impact development techniques like permeable pavement and constructed wetlands were used to infiltrate and treat rainwater, reducing flooding and pollution. The second case study models using small-scale hydropower systems in sustainable urban drainage systems in Lisbon to recover energy from stormwater runoff. It analyzes the potential power output for different pond sizes and turbine targets. Overall, the document outlines strategies for implementing "sponge cities" that can better absorb and use rainwater and stormwater.
This document discusses riparian management policies and practices. It outlines current policies that focus on issues like buffer zone widths and tree retention. Federal policies have evolved from using buffer strips in the 1960s. The FEMAT report designated key watersheds and established riparian reserves to protect resources. Future directions emphasize ecological functions, a landscape river network perspective, restoration of ecosystem properties, and social needs. The conclusion states that riparian management should protect water quality, habitat, and biodiversity while allowing for flood control and soil conservation.
The document summarizes Massachusetts' development of a comprehensive ocean management plan as required by the 2008 Oceans Act. Key points:
- The plan will govern ocean uses and protect resources as mandated by the Oceans Act, using spatial data and analysis to inform compatible siting of allowed uses like renewable energy and fishing.
- A screening process analyzed ecological data to identify protected areas and constraints, and suitable sites for offshore wind while avoiding conflicts with important habitats and uses.
- The draft plan designates renewable energy siting areas, prohibited areas, and allows some uses elsewhere subject to siting standards to protect sensitive resources.

SWaRMA_IRBM_Module1_#4, IRBM implementation in nepal challenges and opportuni...ICIMOD
This presentation is the part of 12-day (28 January–8 February 2019) training workshop on “Multi-scale Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) from the Hindu Kush Himalayan Perspective” organized by the Strengthening Water Resources Management in Afghanistan (SWaRMA) Initiative of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), and targeted at participants from Afghanistan.
The document discusses modeling natural resources systems and related infrastructure. It describes reservoirs and their primary use of regulating downstream water flows over time and space. Reservoirs have three types of storage capacities: active storage for water supply, dead storage for sediment collection, and flood storage to reduce potential downstream flood damage. Wetlands and swamps are also important elements that provide regulating functions for water quantity and quality through processes like flood attenuation and self-purification. They support valuable ecological systems. River basin models focus on tracking water quantities to determine if supply meets various demands and identify solutions. Water quality and ecology are analyzed separately using models of specific parts like reservoirs.
This presentation was delivered on the 10th of December 2018 in Vientiane by Jeremy Carew-Reid at the MRC final stakeholder workshop as part of the Environmental Study of the Lancang-Mekong Development Plan (LMDP) project.
This document discusses catchment management and abstractions. It provides learning objectives on abstraction risk, impacts from abstractions, environmental flows, and potential measures. It then discusses various topics related to abstractions including risk assessment, impacts from abstractions, environmental flows, and existing and future measures for regulating abstractions. Drinking water safety plans, groundwater protection plans, and integrated catchment management are also summarized as they relate to abstraction and drinking water quality.

Optimizing cascades or systems of reservoirs in small catchments
1.
2. Managing impacts of dams in cascades
The results of MK3 and MK17
• Welcome and opening by Dr Bui Nam Sach
• Nguyen Van Tuan - Water availability, use and
trends in the Srepok River Catchment
• Eric Baran - Managing fish passage through large
dams - with specific example of Lower Sesan 2
• Tarek Ketelsen - Managing sediment transport in
catchments and through cascades in the Sesan
• Simon Tilleard - Managing flows for the
environment between Upper and Lower Sesan
• Jeremy Carew-Reid - Institutional challenges for
managing multiple water use in cascades of dams
4. Last year’s MK3 presentations
• Trading off hydropower potential for irrigated
agriculture - an example from the Sesan river
• Increasing habitat diversity in new reservoirs Creating wetlands in the drawdown of the
Nam Gnouang reservoir
• Flood control challenges for large hydroelectric reservoirs with an example from the
Nam Theun-Nam Kadinh basin in Lao PDR
5. Conclusions
• Multiple use of water in cascades of reservoirs
is often viable
• Other uses do not necessarily diminish the
hydropower potential by significant amounts
• The potential for multiple use of water should
always be explored as part of the feasibility
studies for all new dams
6. General Recommendations
• Regulatory agencies should insist that studies be
carried out to assess the potential and feasibility
of multiple use options for all proposed dams
• Developers should include technical, social and
economic viability assessments of such multiple
uses for proposed dams for example in feasibility
studies and EIAs
• If multiple use options are considered to be
viable and environmentally and socially sound
they should be incorporated into the design of
new projects
7. • River basin managers and planners should work
with developers and local agencies to explore the
possibilities for multiple-use of both existing and
proposed hydropower projects, irrigation and
water supply reservoirs.
• Operators of dams in cascade should work
closely together in the coordinating water
releases for flood management, irrigation water
supply downstream, environmental flows and fish
passage and other multiple uses of water.
