The implementation of SBTs at Nunobiki increased the projected reservoir life from 60 years to over 1,260 years—a nearly 21-fold increase. Key Takeaways for Sustainable Use

The book focuses on moving away from "trapping sediment" to "routing sediment" around or through the dam. Reservoir sedimentation handbook: design and ma...

The Nunobiki Dam in Japan was severely impacted by sediment, restricting its capacity to store water, which is a common fate for older dams, often losing 1% of their capacity annually, per 1998 Morris and Fan . The implementation of SBTs at Nunobiki increased the

The Reservoir Sedimentation Handbook: Design and Management of Dams, Reservoirs, and Watersheds for Sustainable Use by Gregory L. Morris and Jiahua Fan (1998) is considered the definitive guide to managing sediment in dams. and turbidity current venting .

Key techniques include sediment bypassing , drawdown/empty flushing (releasing water to scour out settled sediment), and turbidity current venting .
