| Abstract |
This document is based on papers presented at the St. Petersburg workshop which addressed different aspects of reservoir sedimentation, from watershed to reservoir and the effects downstream. Simulation models of stream sedimentation and reservoir sedimentation and its mitigation are presented. Current practices used in reservoir sedimentation mitigation and their impacts downstream are described based on selected examples in China, the USA and France. Uncertainties experienced during various phases in the life of a reservoir are outlined. This benchmark publication is a contribution from the International Co-ordination Committee on Reservoir Sedimentation (ICCORES) to UNESCO抯 International Hydrological Programme (IHP).
