Reservoir Sedimentation Handbook: Design And Ma... «RECENT – 2024»

The implementation of SBTs at Nunobiki increased the projected reservoir life from 60 years to over 1,260 years—a nearly 21-fold increase. Key Takeaways for Sustainable Use

Instead of just letting the dam die or performing expensive dredging, operators utilized Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBT) . These tunnels are engineered to route sediment-laden inflow around the dam storage pool during floods. Reservoir sedimentation handbook: design and ma...

The book focuses on moving away from "trapping sediment" to "routing sediment" around or through the dam. The implementation of SBTs at Nunobiki increased the
