this paper describes the problem of sedimentation in reservoirs,in general, and offers an estimate of the annual rate of storage loss and the useful life of sefidrud reservoir in iran,in particular. the life of sefidrud reservoir was predicted to exceed 100 years in the design, based on insufficient data. regular daily measurements of sediment discharge of the river, taken years later, however,...

Abstract The optimization of dam reservoir operations is the utmost importance, as operators strive to maximize revenue while minimizing expenses, risks, and deficiencies. Metaheuristics have recently been investigated extensively by researchers in management reservoirs. But animal-concept-based metaheuristic algorithm with Lévy flight integration approach has not used at Karun-4. This paper in...

A reservoir is one of the most efficient measures for integrated water resources development and management. The reservoir storage curve is a vital parameter for multipurpose reservoir operation and its precision is a key issue for water balance and strategic risk management. Compared with the traditional approach, the method based on remote sensing RS data provides better information, which ca...

Water injection is an enhanced oil recovery method which is applied for number of reservoirs especially in the offshore fields around the world. Sea-water injection process is usually associated with important concerns affecting the efficiency, safety, and economy of the operation like formation damage, mineral scaling, early breakthrough and corrosion. Incompatibility between injected and ...
