The Use of Modified Annandale?s Method in the Estimation of the Sediment Distribution in Small Reservoirs?A Case Study

Boguslaw Michalec    

Resumen

In the current study, the applicability of the Annandale method was verified based on the results of silting and sediment distribution measurements carried out in eight small reservoirs, with a capacity that does not exceed 5 million m3. It was found that the application of this method is possible only in the case of small reservoirs, in which the sediment load is deposited in the near-dam zone. The results of studies conducted on small reservoirs allowed the construction of a graph presenting the relationship of a sum of dimensionless sediment load volume as a function of relative distance from the dam, which became the modification of the graph in Annandale?s method. The proposed modification of Annandale?s method considers reservoirs with a length less than 1000 m and capacity-inflow ratio ranging from a few per mille to a percent.
