Derive the C3 lateral-inflow routing coefficient. First derive the Muskingum routing equation with lateral
inflow, see Appendix I of
Ponce's paper.
- The design of the La Leche dam in Peru requires an asessment of reservoir sedimentation.
Perform a sensitivity analysis to
assess the design life of the reservoir, using three levels of possible turbidity: 1, 3, and 5 kg/m3.
The reservoir volume is 64 hm3.
The drainage area at the damsite is 907.36 km2.
The mean annual discharge is 6.44 m3/s.
The specific weight of sediment deposits is 13,000 N/m3.
Assume the worst-case scenario for sediment size.
Assume that bed load (sediment transport by rolling and sliding along the bed) is 20% of suspended load.
Calculate the time it will take to fill 20%, 50%, 80% and 100% of the reservoir volume for the three postulated
scenarios of sediment yield.
