Abstract

Certain issues that include stresses, floods, seismic loads could be observed inevitable andunpredictable in terms of occurrence, ultimately affect the functionality and life span for anyReservoir. Another important factor, which ultimately and strappingly influences any robustReservoir and its storage capacity is Sedimentation. Appraisal of quantity of sediment and applicationof proper remedial measures could significantly sustain and enhance the storage capacity of thereservoir. This study primarily deals on evaluating the annual sediment deposit in Sri Ram SagarProject’s Reservoir using Arc SWAT (Soil and Water Analysis Tool), a plug-in of Arc GIS 10.4. Theattained results from this tool are then compared with Godavari Sediment Year Book (2015–2016) forvalidation. Also, the expedient life of this reservoir is calculated using Gill’s Equation. Eventually, thevariance analysis for a difference in deposited sediment and inflow and runoff is evaluated usingAnova Analysis and the results are concluded.Keywords: Anova Analysis, Gill Equation, Life of Reservoir, Reservoir Sedimentation Analysis,SWAT Analysis.
