The watershed is the system component for originating the sediment yield through the processes of soil erosion. The eroded materials entering into the fluvial system and ultimately getting deposited in the water storage bodies such as ponds, reservoirs etc., is called sedimentation. For storage structures concerned, the sedi­mentation is always destructive phenomena. In this article the details of sedimentation are [...]
