Abstract:
The design of the reservoir upstream of the dam and of the canal requires consideration of the sediment load carried by the river in case the river is sediment-laden. The hydraulics of lined canals is described from the point of view of limiting transport capacity and changes in frictional resistance. The processes of sediment yield, reservoir siltation are also discussed. Methods of design of sediment extraction devices like settling basins and vortex chambers are presented.
