Sediment Volume to be Distributed in Reservoir Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Sediment to be Distributed = Area at the New Zero Elevation*(Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed)-Height above Bed)+Volume of Sediment
V_s = A_o*(H-h_o)+V_o
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Sediment to be Distributed - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Sediment to be Distributed is the volume of sediment in a reservoir and the volume of sediment filling up the conical portion of the reservoir up to the original filling depth.
Area at the New Zero Elevation - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area at the New Zero Elevation refers to a reference coordinate surface used for vertical positions, such as the elevations of Earth-bound features also known as a zero-elevation surface.
Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed) - (Measured in Meter) - Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed) of the reservoir is the depth of the reservoir at the Full Reservoir Level (FRL).
Height above Bed - (Measured in Meter) - Height above Bed is the elevation from surface of zero elevation to which heights of various points are referenced.
Volume of Sediment - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Sediment is the transported volume sediment between old zero and new zero bed level.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area at the New Zero Elevation: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Difference in the Elevation (FRL and Original bed): 11 Meter --> 11 Meter No Conversion Required
Height above Bed: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Sediment: 5 Cubic Meter --> 5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_s = A_o*(H-h_o)+V_o --> 50*(11-2)+5

Evaluating ... ...

V_s = 455

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

455 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

455 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Sediment to be Distributed

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.
