Climate change scenarios indicate that most glaciers in Norway will have disappeared by the year 2100. As the downstream river reaches are often completely dominated by glacial sediments, large environmental changes are expected. This paper discusses and reviews sediment transport studies in order to deduce the impact of climate change on the sediment delivery of glaciers. Sediment monitoring p...

With ever decreasing potential for suitable new dam sites, sustainable use of existing water reservoirs is paramount importance. In absence appropriate measures, reservoir storage continually reduced due to sedimentation. One option remove sediment deposits hydraulic flushing. During the flushing operation, bottom outlets are open and released. Whether successfully removes depends on a number f...

Control of sedimentation in reservoirs of dams is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing their useful life. Reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediments to the river. The deposited sediments will decrease the capacity of the reservoirs so that they cannot be in use any more. Various methods are discussed in this study...

This paper presents a novel model for predicting the sediment transport rate during flushing operation in sewers. The was developed using Evolutionary Polynomial Regression Multi-Objectiv...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of the hydraulic flushing capacity stored volume water to remove sediments. is based on 90 laboratory experiments in which sediment evacuated was measured for varying initial volumes water, three bed slopes, and sizes. The consisted rapid emptying reservoir by means suddenly opening tilting gate downstream. produced an accelerated flow eroded mobile res...

The natural resources of Himalayas in terms of hydro power generation are not only crucial for the Himalayan states of India, but very important for the whole country. These states seem to be keen in exploiting their vast hydro electricity potential for net revenue earning. However, due to weak geological conditions and steep slopes these rivers carry a huge quantity of sediment with them. The ...

The Unazuki Reservoir is located on the Kurobe River, which influenced by a catchment with one of highest sediment yields in Japan. Due to sufficiently available discharge during flood events, annual flushing full water-level drawdown (i.e., free-flow flushing) conducted preserve effective storage capacity reservoir. Nevertheless, upstream half reservoir study segment) suffers from excessive de...
