Annual Sediment Flushing in Hydropower Dam – Restoring Efficiency and Capacity
The annual sediment flushing operation is underway at the hydropower dam, releasing large volumes of silt-laden water through the spillway tunnel. Over time, sediment transported from upstream rivers accumulates in the reservoir, reducing storage capacity, affecting water flow, and potentially impacting turbine efficiency. This controlled flushing process is essential for: Restoring Reservoir Capacity – Removing … Read more
