Water and sediment management in reservoirs and Rivers.
The sediment yield of rivers is often sensitive to changes in catchments land use and human activities. Such an impact is most likely to be demonstrated at a restricted spatial scale, particularly in headwater catchments. In large river basins such as Nile River Basin, there are needs to study, understand, and quantify the impacts of these modifications on the hydrologic regime. Therefore water and sediment management for upstream countries is very essential. Understanding the phenomena of Nile River and good estimation of average annual soil loss and sediment yield in upstream countries will improve the estimation of sedimentation processes in downstream countries. Accordingly, this will give more clear overview for the decision makers in management of water resources and sediment in the shared river countries.
