Sediment Yield Modeling as Sediment Management Strategies Towards Sustainability of Hydropower Reservoirs in Malaysia

Reservoir sedimentation is common in lakes and reservoirs. Heavy sedimentation is observed in reservoirs in Cameron Highlands and the trends are uprising in other lakes or reservoirs in Malaysia. Mitigation measures that can be undertaken by the reservoir managers are limited within the reservoir. P...
