Sedimentation: Exclusion and Removal of Sediment from Diverted Water

by Arved J. Raudkivi

Overview

This monograph provides the practising engineer with a concise overview of the methods of water diversion and exclusion or removal of sediment from the diverted water. The emphasis is on flow features and the associated conveyance of sediments.
