The higher rate of sedimentation in reservoirs is one of the main concerns in sustainable reservoir management, which impairs the functional capacity of reservoirs that may lead to various environmental risks. Estimation of sedimentation rate and useful life of a reservoir using appropriate methods is imperative for sustainable management. This paper deals with the computation of sedimentation rate and useful life of Tehri reservoir of Bhagirathi river, in India, using hydrographic survey analysis, Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) modelling, satellite remote sensing (SRS) technique, and trap efficiency based empirical curve methods. The rate of sedimentation was found as 5.33 million cubic metres (MCM)/year based on hydrographic survey analysis from the data obtained for the years 2005, 2008 and 2013. Likewise, the mean annual rate of sedimentation was estimated to be 5.07 MCM/year and 5.75 MCM/year based on the HEC-RAS model and SRS techniques respectively. Brune’s method and Churchill’s method of trap efficiency were found to be inconsistent with the hydrographic survey results. The reservoir can be classified as Type III reservoir with respect to the sediment vertical distribution analysis. Changes in bathymetry obtained in the simulation studies showed that the Bhagirathi river’s 28–30 km reach would be most vulnerable to sedimentation problems. The estimated useful life of Tehri reservoir was found to be in the range of 160–180 years. The SRS technique and hydrodynamic model provided a better fit with the observed data.Keywords

In this study, parameters of the Kostiakov, Horton, Modified Kostiakov, SCS, Philip and Smith models were estimated using the double-ring infiltrometer on two different slopes, viz. 4° and 23°; in morning and afternoon sessions to assess their usefulness in characterizing the infiltration process. Observations revealed that the average increment in temperature by 9°C increased the final and initial infiltration rates by 65% and 38% respectively. The combined effects of the 23° slope and higher temperature increased the infiltrated volume by 6.4 times. The comparative analysis showed Kostiakov as the most efficient model incorporating combined and individual effects of temperature and slopeFull Text
