| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The reservoirs in arid region loses their storage capacities rapidly due to sedimentation. Dredging, the conventional countermeasure is so costly that the developing countries cannot carry it out. This research program focuses Tunisia, one of the countries facing the severe sedimentation problem. Based on the field measurement and numerical simulation of the turbid inflow to the reservoir, the management of reservoir with a low cost was discussed. Exploitation of the sediment was also studied for covering the financial burden of dredging. We thought that the sediment of fine clay can be a raw material of ceramics and purification unit removing fluoride in groundwater that is main resource for drinking water of local farmers. Phosphate was added to the media in the unit, made from sediment, for removing fluoride in drinking water by chemical reaction. The life of the removal function of the media can be monitored with the fluoride concentration analysis kit developed.
