This study related to prediction of reservoir sediment progress has been started for the purpose of efficient operation and maintenance as well as effective future investment of the dams and reservoirs. Reservoir sediment progress will be affected by climate change, and its detail should be clarified in order to realize the above.
This paper shows the case study of JPOWER’s M dam regarding the above prediction of reservoir sediment progress using Egashira Model. Egashira Model is relatively applicable in this case and it is concluded that the M dam’s reservoir sediment progress will be accelerated by 15% due to the increased rainfall. However, further analysis and modification would be necessary in order to apply Egashira Model to various conditions of the dams’basin.
