Sustainable management of drinking water reservoirs requires balancing the demands of
water supply whilst minimizing environmental impact. This study numerically simulates the …

River reaches downstream dams where a constant residual flow discharge is imposed, often
lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In …

In semi-arid regions, water policy has strongly promoted the construction of water reservoirs
with little or no consideration for their ecological consequences. In order to quantify the effect …

Sediment flushing can tackle reservoirs siltation and improve sediment flux through dammed
rivers. However, the increase of the sediment loading below the dam can trigger a suite of …

The regulation of reservoirs contributes huge socioeconomic benefits to society at the
expense of inducing adverse effects on downstream ecosystems. The reservoir average …

Reservoirs play a critically important role in supplying water for human uses. However,
sedimentation limits storage capabilities and increases risk for aging infrastructure. The …
