Reservoir Sediment Management – Morocco, Africa

Engineering and Hydrosystems Inc. executed a project for the World Bank in Morocco to develop strategies for sustainable management of water resources and water resource infrastructure. The project entailed analyzing ten reservoirs to determine the technical feasibility to remove sediment from reservoirs using six optional reservoir sedimentation management techniques. An economic optimization was conducted on the feasible options to identify the most economical management technique for sustainable management of the reservoirs. The technology that was used to execute the project is based on a method that was developed for the World Bank by Engineering and Hydrosystems Inc. in cooperation with resource economists from the University of Connecticut.
