This publication presents new conceptions and new methods for protecting the larger of the reservoirs that may be built this year and next as part of the war program. It puts in the hands of engineers, agronomists, and others an increased knowledge of a subject of importance in the field of land use and good water use.
This publication has been prepared in response to numerous requests from those concerned with water-supply, irrigation, and power production for information on methods of controlling or reducing excessive silting in impounding reservoirs.
The creation of river dams and the storage of water have been a strategy for survival for many centuries. Reservoirs have diverse functions, providing irrigation, water supply, storage of water, flood control, navigation and power generation. The silting of a reservoir is an unavoidable process. Although it cannot be halted, silting can be slowed down and controlled by a variety of soil conservation practices and by modifying agricultural practices in the catchment area. Other methods of reducing silting include the placing of certain engineering structures in the river system and the introduction of adequate strategies of reservoir operation. Silting and Desilting of Reservoirs includes aspects such as hydraulics, sediment transport, silting, sediment distribution, calculation and prediction of silting and solutions to reservoir silting.
