Reservoir Sedimentation Survey
Storage capacity depletion in lakes and reservoirs takes place due to sedimentation. It is therefore important to conduct regular surveys of the deposit and study various options to make lakes/reservoirs sustainable for long term utilization of its capacity. Hydro Lab holds the capacity and expertise for conducting reservoir sedimentation surveys by using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). It is also capable of evaluating a reservoir’s lifetime and conducting studies for possible ways of flushing out sediment from reservoirs. In cooperation with NTNU, Hydro Lab has conducted Reservoir Sedimentation Surveys in different reservoirs of Nepal, since 2003. The details of Reservoir Sedimentation Survey carried out by Hydro Lab are presented below:
| S. N. | Projects | Client | Project Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kulekhani reservoir sedimentation survey (Four measurements in different years) | NTNU | Central Nepal |
| 2 | Kaligandaki - A HEP reservoir sedimentation survey | NEA | Western Nepal |
| 3 | Middle Marsyangdi HPP reservoir sedimentation survey | NTNU | Western Nepal |
| 4 | Middle Marsyangdi HPP; bathymetric survey of full reservoir and velocity measurement at 40 sections of the reservoir (before and after monsoon) | NTNU/NEA | Western Nepal |
