Scope of the Workshop Na t i o na l W or ks h op

The workshop is intended to share, discuss and converge

on recent developments in techniques and concepts of
sediment accumulation in Reservoirs and to deliberate
exciting recent case studies with topical scientific sessions.
We aim to provide ample space for discussion at emerging

new areas of research in reservoir sedimentation. Sediment transport into water courses
originating from the catchment area and
silting up of reservoirs are serious problems in
India. Problems of nutrient loading and
diverse chemical residues from agricultural
production necessitates better understanding
of sediment transport and assessment both at
