Extended Analysis for Sediment Pond Design
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns
Abstract
An example of extended analysis for sediment pond design is presented. The sediment pond is designed to trap the suspended sediment carried by surface runoff from a construction site. Extended analysis can show dynamic changes of the velocity field in a pond as well as suspended sediment distribution from the pond inlet to the outlet. Results from the analysis can be used by designers to adjust pond size and shape for more effective reduction of sediment discharge, that varies with time at the pond outlet.
