Evaluation of sediment production and siltation in a small earth dam in Fernandópolis, SP

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The siltation is a natural process, but can be accelerated by human actions and results in major problems for the reservoirs, reducing its useful volume for irrigation. An example of this problem was the reduction of the area of mirror water of Fernandópolis municipal dam in 48.3% during 20 years. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the production of sediments and siltation of Fernandópolis municipal dam from a methodology that can be applied to small earth dams for agricultural purposes. For this… Show more

“…As a result of intensive siltation rate of small reservoirs, their frequent desilting is necessary [8]. A general life-span of small reservoirs is over a dozen years [9,10] or several dozen years [11,12]. The uncontaminated mineral material extracted from these reservoirs is very often used for agricultural or earth works carried out in the catchment area.…”

“…During the last few years, research in the field of sedimentology has been focused on sediment production, quantification, and transportation (Sousa et al, 2012;Vanzela et al, 2014;Cerquetani & Martins Filho, 2006). Additionally, studies have concentrated on the impacts of contaminated sediments on the environment, especially because sediment is considered the main fixator and carrier element in aquatic environments (Pejman et al, 2015;Cembranel et al, 2017a).…”
