  • Reservoir sedimentation management in Taiwan

    • Authors: Wang, Hsiao-Wen;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Kuo, Wei-Cheng (2018)

  • This article summarizes sediment management strategies in Taiwan, providing lessons to help guide planning and design of new dams, and establish design standards for sustainable reservoir management. This article is complementary to other articles in this and the previous issue of Hydrolink on reservoir sedimentation, such as those by Kondolf and Schmitt, Annandale et al., Kantoush and Sumi, Lyoudi et al. who present diverse experiences and policies in managing reservoir sedimentation worldwide.

  • Sedimentation and flushing in a reservoir – The Paute Cardenillo dam in Ecuador

    • Authors: Castillo, Luis G.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Carrillio, José M. (2018)

  • Flushing is one possible solution to mitigate the impact of reservoir impounding on the sediment balance across a river. It prevents the blockage of safety works (e.g. bottom outlets) and the excessive sediment entrainment in the water withdrawal structures (e.g. power waterways). This study is focused on the morphological changes expected in the Paute River (Ecuador - South America) as a result of the future construction of the Paute ardenillo Dam.

  • Sustainable management of sediment fluxes in the Rhône river cascade

    • Authors: Peteuil, Christophe;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2018)

  • The Rhône is one of the major river systems of Europe. Originating in the Swiss Alps, it flows mainly through France to the Mediterranean Sea. At the catchment outlet, the mean annual discharge is approximately 1,700 m³/s for a basin area of 95,500 km². Compared to similar catchments, the Rhône River is quite steep and its flow discharge is significant. A powerful waterway, the Rhône River is not only a source for hydropower generation but also a carrier of sediment.

  • Foresight study: Future developments in physical modelling of climate change impacts

    • Authors: MendonÇa, Ana;  Advisor: -;  Participants: MClelland, Stuart; Evers, Karl-Ulrich; Thom, Moritz; Santos, Paulo Rosa (2018)

  • The HYDRALAB+ Project is an advanced network of European research organisations that focus on physical modelling of environmental hydraulics. The aim is to develop and improve the experimental facilities for the investigation of expected climate change impacts to ensure that future management and adaptation measures are effective. An important aspect of this work is to identify new or alternative experimental methods and resources to better support future work in modelling climate change impacts and adaptation strategies.

  • Dams, sediment discontinuity, and management responses

    • Authors: Kondolf, G. Mathias;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Schmitt, Rafael J. (2018)

  • This article focuses on the effects of sediment trapping by dams and planning/management opportunities to minimize these impacts and to restore downstream sediment supply to maintain or restore geomorphic and ecological conditions. It is complementary to other articles in this issue (e.g. Annandale et al., Efthymiou et al.), which explore structural and management approaches to reduce sediment trapping by dams, from a perspective of improving the sustainability of reservoir storage capacity for future generations.

  • Reservoir sedimentation management: A sustainabledevelopment challenge

    • Authors: Annandale, George W.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Randle, Timothy J.; Langendoen, Eddy J.; Hotchkiss, Rollin H. (2018)

  • Suitable dam and reservoir sites are scarce resources that should be sustainably developed and managed to satisfy the needs of current and future generations. Historic and current dam development approaches do not address the issue of sustainable development (i.e. that reservoir water storage is needed for both current and future generations)

  • The Changjiang river flood protection physical model

    • Authors: Lu, Jinyou;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Yao, Shiming; Zhu, Yonghui (2018)

  • The Changjiang River (formerly named the Yangtze River), is the largest river in China. The drainage basin of the river is a key area in China in terms of politics, economy, and culture with an abundance of water and mineral resources.
