Abstract:In Japan, the management of sediment in dam reservoirs has become challenging owing to heavy rain. Unexpected increase of sediment volume in dam reservoirs can increase flood risk owing to a rise in the level of the riverbed. It is therefore necessary to conduct sediment management to clarify the area of sediment production to control the amount of sediment transported and the timing of its movement. Sediment discharge from tributaries is often calculated based on catchment area and the deposited sediment volu… Show more
