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
