    DESILTATION

    Desiltation refers to the to remove suspended silt from (the water of a stream) which consists of
    earthy matter, fine sand, or the like carried by moving or running water and deposited as a sediment. In
    designing reservoirs, silting problem plays an important role because their operating mode and period
    depend on this phenomenon. The approach of the subject of reservoir-silting has been achieved both
    nationally and internationally in diverse professional works, theses, and articles in different conferences.
    The general conclusion that can be drawn is that silting is a complex process which begins when the lake
    starts operating and practical ends when the lake is off. To understand this process, it has to start from the
    sources of the deposited sediments in a lake (the lake water catchment basin and the hydrographic
    network) and it must take into account the two forms of solid contribution, namely: the dragged solid flow
    and the suspended solid flow. Because clogging of artificial lakes reduces their capacity, and hence their
    operating period, studies and appropriate measures are needed to reduce the intensity of this process. In
    our country these studies must be a current problem, imposed by the large number of lakes affected by
    this phenomenon. Clogging lakes must be a permanent concern of the specialized groups in the field of
    water management, river basin planning complex, environment protection etc.

    A method to compute retrogressive erosion during the drawdown of a reservoir is developed, and
    an approximate method for estimating the amount of sediment that can be vented from a reservoir as a
    density current is proposed. The computed values are compared with field data. Field data on the
    floodplain slope formed during flood season and the bottom slope of the main channel formed during
    nonflood season are analyzed. Empirical formulas for both slopes are presented for estimating long‐term
    storage capacity.
