Sediment Area at any Height above Datum Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sediment Area = Dimensionless Relative Area*Soil Erodibility Factor
A_s = A_p*K
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Sediment Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Sediment Area at any depth above the new datum is an area from where solid material is moved and deposited in a new location.
Dimensionless Relative Area - Dimensionless Relative Area is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of area of elevation above the bed to that of area at initial zero elevation.
Soil Erodibility Factor - Soil Erodibility Factor is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to erosion by runoff and raindrop impact.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dimensionless Relative Area: 1.9 --> No Conversion Required
Soil Erodibility Factor: 0.17 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_s = A_p*K --> 1.9*0.17

Evaluating ... ...

A_s = 0.323

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.323 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.323 Square Meter <-- Sediment Area

Relative Area for Different Type Classification of Reservoir

LaTeX Go Dimensionless Relative Area = Coefficient c*(Relative Depth^Coefficient m1)*(1-Relative Depth)^Coefficient n1

New Total Depth of Reservoir

LaTeX Go New Total Depth of Reservoir = Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed)-Height above Bed

Difference in Elevations of Full Reservoir Level and Original Bed of Reservoir

LaTeX Go Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed) = Height above Bed/Relative Depth

Relative Depth at New Zero Elevation

LaTeX Go Relative Depth = Height above Bed/Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed)

What is a Reservoir?

A Reservoir is an artificial lake where water is stored. Most reservoirs are formed by constructing dams across rivers. A reservoir can also be formed from a natural lake whose outlet has been dammed to control the water level. The dam controls the amount of water that flows out of the reservoir.
