Sediment Sampling and Data Processing | U.S. Geological Survey

Sediment must be physically measured to adequately inform water resources and sediment management decisions. USGS collects sediment samples at thousands of locations across the U.S., using nationally consistent methods. USGS sediment data are available through our national databases and data dissemination tools (see the Data & …

Online interactive U.S. Reservoir Sedimentation Survey …

RESSED data can be useful for a number of purposes, including calculating changes in reservoir storage characteristics, quantifying rates of sediment delivery to …

Assessment of Reservoir Sedimentation using Satellite Remote …

Reservoir sedimentation surveys are carried out using different techniques such as differential global positioning system (DGPS), satellite remote sensing, stream flow analysis, and area reduction method . Due to the deposition of sediment in the reservoir, the water spread area at an elevation goes on decreasing. Using remote sensing …

RESSED data can be useful for a number of purposes, including calculating changes in reservoir storage characteristics, quantifying rates of sediment delivery to reservoirs, and estimating erosion rates in a reservoir's watershed.

The Reservoir Sedimentation Database (RESSED)

A Relational Database containing all Subcommittee on Sedimentation's compiled reservoir-survey information to facilitate analyses related to reservoir-sediment deposition. List of Reservoirs and Individual Data Sheets used to populate the relational database for all but two of the surveyed reservoirs. RESSED, developed in March 2009 from its ...

Sediment Monitoring | Extending the Life of Reservoirs: …

Sediment Monitoring. Discusses sedimentation monitoring procedures, bathymetric mapping of sediment, and estimation of sediment bulk density. A balance between sediment inflow and outflow will occur at all reservoirs, either as a result of management or by natural processes.

USGS Fact Sheet 2014–3038: Estimating Suspended Sediment …

Sediment monitoring is essential to informed solutions to sediment-related issues. However, sediment monitoring by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has decreased considerably over the past quarter century.

The USGS collects fluvial sediment and geomorphic data and conducts related research at numerous sites across the Nation. This information is essential to …

Reservoir sedimentation evaluation using remote sensing …

There is a very close correspondence between results obtained using the satellite remote sensing approach and the bathymetric survey. Consequently, this approach could be used for close monitoring of reservoir sedimentation status, which could have been very time-consuming and costly if it has done using a traditional bathymetric survey.
