IAHR Working Group on Reservoir Sedimentation | Annual Report 2023
Meet the Working Group on Reservoir Sedimentation Keep updated
Who we are?
The increased interest in the subject of reservoir sedimentation and the need to share experiences and lessons learned led to the call for the creation of an IAHR research group on reservoir sedimentation. The main objectives and missions of the working group include:
To bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners
To develop and share practical options for managing sediment for long-term reservoir sustainability
To promote collaborations on the reservoir sedimentation issues (processes, monitoring, numerical modelling)
To gather and share robust datasets from laboratory and field studies
To disseminate results and conclusions from ongoing worldwide research projects on reservoir sedimentation
To organize short (online/master) courses, special sessions, seminars and workshops on reservoir sedimentation and sustainability
To formulate an IAHR’s monograph on reservoir sedimentation and sustainability
