Abstract

This Regional Sediment Management Technical Note (RSM-TN) summarizes a training workshop held on the topic of reservoir sediment management supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), National RSM Program, RSM-University (RSM-U) series of workshops. The workshop focused on the big picture, including the need for reservoirs, impacts of reservoir sediment accumulation, an array of potential solutions, screening methods for sediment management options, environmental implications of both doing nothing and of implementing sediment management strategies, and the regulatory process. The workshop included 3 days of training on reservoir sedimentation impacts and sediment management strategies with a specific focus on regulators, planners, and managers.
