| Abstract | Sedimentation causes problems in rivers degradation or
aggradation , c logging of drainage systems and canals depending on
the flow and sediment characteristics. In urban drainage systems ,
water which carries sediment particles as well as garbages of
various sizes, can cause blocking of canals. These drainage
systems designed to convey or dispose water have experienced
siltation and clogging. The drainage capacity i s reduced to a
considerable degree due to the deposition of such sediments. One
way of cleaning this canal is by releasing s urges which will
agitate the deposited sediment into suspension and carries it
into the downstream as bed load or suspended load.
Graphical relationships are developed in t his study to
relate the volume of sediment transport with the isolated surge
and sediment characteristics and the number of flushes. The
study is confined to the use of a single representative size of
sediment of 0 .81 mm diameter and specific dimensions of the
initial sand pile as well as a specified constant head in the
upstream reservoir. The study provides the basis for further
experiments and analysis to be carried out to d eve l op more
generalize d relationships and to verify the results with
laboratory and field data. |
