Abstract
The reservoir storage loss caused by sedimentation is critical problem for those reservoirs which are expected to provide water resources and flood control. Hence, it is getting more important to promote sustainable sedimentation management in the near future. In this paper, RESCON model developed by the World Bank is introduced and the technical feasibility assessment of flushing used in the model is studied in order to apply it to reservoirs in Japan. After this assessment applying to several reservoirs in Japan, it is discussed that what is the points for successful flushing.
