Sedimentation is steadily depleting reservoir capacity worldwide, threatening the reliability
of water supplies, flood control, hydropower energy and other benefits that form the basis of …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

Bedload transport measurements with acoustic sensors were obtained during summer 2015
in the Albula River in Switzerland. An impact plate measuring system was used with …

Reservoir sedimentation is a global issue affecting water supply, energy production and
flood protection. For a sustainable and safe reservoir operation sediment management is …

Re-establishing the sediment continuum in a river is one of the purposes of sediment bypass
tunnels (SBTs). They convey sediments (bed and suspended load) from the upstream river …

Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) are a sediment routing technique. During floods, sediment-
laden water is conveyed through the tunnel to the dam tailwater. SBTs feature several …

193Sans mesures adéquates, les réservoirs ne sont pas durablement viables, ni le réservoir
en tant que tel du fait de l'alluvionnement continuel, ni l'écosystème à l'aval du fait de …

Reservoir sedimentation is one of the main issues interfering with the sustainable operation
of many hydropower reservoirs as it causes a reduction of storage capacity and may also …

Four reservoirs in Japan and Switzerland with sediment bypass tunnels (SBT) as strategy
against sedimentation were monitored to analyze their effects in terms of up-to downstream …

Hydropower is the major source of electricity in Switzerland contributing about 57%(36
TWh/yr) of the total annual generation. Therefore, water storage in hydropower reservoirs is …
