Volume of Sediment Deposition given Incremental Area Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Sediment Deposit = 0.5*((Cross-Sectional Area at Point 1+Cross-Sectional Area at Point 2)*Change in Head Between the Points)
ΔV_s = 0.5*((A₁+A₂)*ΔH)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Sediment Deposit - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Sediment Deposit is the deposited sediment volume between two consecutive heights h1 and h2 above the new datum.
Cross-Sectional Area at Point 1 - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area at Point 1 is defined as the area of the section at point 1.
Cross-Sectional Area at Point 2 - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area at Point 2 is the area of cross section at a point 2.
Change in Head Between the Points - (Measured in Meter) - Change in Head Between the Points refers to the difference in the hydraulic head at two different points in a fluid system separated by a small distance dl.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross-Sectional Area at Point 1: 14 Square Meter --> 14 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area at Point 2: 6 Square Meter --> 6 Square Meter No Conversion Required

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.
