Despite the mechanisms of reservoir sedimentation being renowned for a very long time, sustainable and preventive measures are not often considered within the layout of recent reservoirs. to prevent operational difficulties of powerhouses, sedimentation is frequently taken care of for current reservoirs with measures that are effective just for a restricted time.


The today’s problem of dam proprietors and engineers is to assure with enough mitigation measures the long run sustainable use of the important reservoirs delivering water for consuming, meals and effort creation. examine and improvement remains to be urgently had to determine effective mitigation measures tailored to the most sedimentation strategies keen on reservoirs.


During the 7th overseas convention on Fluvial Hydraulics “River stream 2014” at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, scientists and pros from around the world addressed the problem of reservoir sedimentation in a distinct consultation and exchanged their wisdom and reports. Invited and chosen contributions, which provide an outline at the newest advancements and learn concerning reservoir sedimentation together with case stories, are offered during this publication, within the desire that they could give a contribution to higher sustainable use of the important reservoirs worldwide.
