Siltation in reservoirs is becoming an important problem as the dams are
getting older in the world. The general dam practice has been implemented in
a sequence that / planning, design, construction, operation of dam until the
accumulated sediment prevents its purpose function or functions.
Unfortunately, effects of sedimentation and fate of the left over dams in the
future are not figured. Indeed, these negative effects could be avoided, life of
the reservoir can be prolonged and even the reservoir will last forever by
minimizing the sedimentation.
Therefore in this study, the methods that provide extension of reservoir life are
discussed hydraulically, economically and applicability point of view. In
addition, there is open source package program RESCON which examines
and compares some sediment removal techniques economically and also
hydraulically. RESCON is used in conjunction with several cases / namely
Ç / ubuk Dam-I, Borç / ka Dam and Muratli Dam. Moreover, some sensitivity
analyses are carried out in order to scrutiny of the program for Turkish
economic conditions.
