Sediment control strategies for sustainable water intake

The negative effect of sediment on hydraulic structures makes sustainability one the most important things to consider in designing and operating such structures. Intakes pumping stations need a suitable strategy for that purpose. A proposed rate control is evaluated this study. Also, sub-watershed use earth dykes are also examined. code SSIIM2 model was prepared simulate flow station at Mosul dam reservoir as case study, which suffers from sedimentation problems. results indicate maximum increased amount withdrawn by about 16% compared reference value 25% capacity, variation deposited front intake ±3%. seasonal has significant reservoir's concentration, but it limited rainfall period zone near outlets. effective dyke with rate. Siting correctly helps reduce deposition inside structure 47 42%, respectively.
