A reservoir covers an average surface area of 40 km< with an average depth of 25 m. The inflow to the reservoir comes from a river having an average flow rate of 63.4 m/s which has a suspended sediment concentration of 5 g/L. (a) Estimate the average annual runoff in m³ as well as the average annual sediment load in kg. Determine the most probable life of the reservoir in years to the point where it is 80 percent full of sediment. Assume that the accumulated sediment has a bulk density of 1800 kg/m3. Use the following reservoir trap efficiency table below and interpolate between trapping efficiency values if needed. Compute per increment of 200 x 100 m3 of reservoir capacity.

7.75. A reservoir covers an area of 850 km² and has an aver- age depth of 18.7 m. The inflow to the reservoir is from a river with an average flow rate of 2500 m³/s and an average suspended-sediment concentration of 250 mg/L. Estimate the rate at which the depth of the reservoir is decreasing due to sediment accumulation, and the time it will take for the reservoir storage to decrease by 10%. Assume that the accumulated sediment has a bulk den- sity of 1600 kg/m³.
