Research Abstract |
Reservoirs in arid land has the catchment area which has low vegetation and much soil erosion. As a result, rapid sedimentation occupy their storage capacity. Dredging is effective countermeasure against the sedimentation but it is not carried out because its cost is quite expensive, especially for the developing countries. This study discussed about the potential of utilization of sediment in the reservoirs and economical feasibility to cover the cost of dredging.
