Abstract
All the basic data that the writer could secure on the silting of reservoirs, where actual capacity surveys have been made to determine the extent of silting, are contained in this paper. Remedial measures for silt elimination are presented and discussed. A table contains a brief of all data on the silt transported by the streams of the world. The physical laws of silt transportation are outlined, with pertinent discussion. The control of silt in canals, reservoirs, and on water-sheds is then considered. The paper closes with data and discussion on the origin of silt.
The original paper, containing additional data and more extended discussion, is on file in Engineering Societies Library, 29 West 39th Street, New York, N. Y.
