About the Book

Reservoir Sedimentation: Assessment and Environmental Controls appraises the issues of sedimentation in reservoirs and discusses measures that can be employed for the effective management of sediment to prolong the operational life of reservoirs. It provides information for professional consultants and policymakers to enable them to manage dams in the best possible way, in order to ensure their sustainability as well as the sustainability of water resources in general. It examines the effects of anthropogenic intervention and management of sediment in dams and reservoirs, as water resources become more sensitive and the demand for clean water continues to increase.

Features:

  • Examines the issue of sedimentation in dams and reservoirs and presents water management strategies to alleviate environmental issues
  • Presents methods to help ensure the environmental sustainability of dams and reservoirs, as well as the sustainability of water resources- with consideration of climate change and increased demand
  • Illustrates the spatial distribution of sedimentation characteristics for several dams using geographic information systems (GIS)
  • Explains the relationships between loss in capacity and catchment characteristics
  • Examines regional variation in sediment yield, defines geomorphic regions on the basis of similar hydrometeorology, physiography, geology, and vegetation affecting reservoirs

  • About the Author:

    Dr. Kumkum Bhattacharyya obtained her Ph.D. degree in 2000, and did post-doctoral research at the University of California Berkeley (2002-2003) where she worked on sediment management in aging reservoirs. She has been involved in research on "Human-Environment Interactions and Changing Fluvial Landscape in the age of the Humans" for over two decades. She has been engaged in several projects, including "The Humans Transforming the Fluvial Landscape into Hybrid Landscape," "Preparing Damodar River Watershed for Large-scale Change," and "Participatory Resource Management Involving Riparian Communities." She published a book entitled "The Lower Domodar River, India: understanding the human role in changing fluvial environment," in 2011 (Springer). She has been involved in teaching at Washington State University as well as collaborating with several professors, researchers, and engineers as well as with organizations/institutions in India and USA.
