SEDIMENT VOLUME ACCUMULATED IN A RESERVOIR HAVING CORRELATED INFLOWS

HUYNH NGOC PHIEN^a, ANAT ARBHABHIRAMA^a and PRATHET SUTABUTR^b

Summary: A relationship between sediment discharge and streamflow was used in this paper either as a scheme for generating sediment data from streamflow record or as a transformation of variable. Assuring that the generated sediment sequence or the streamflow sequence follows some widely used models for correlated variable, an attempt was made to derive the formulas for the expected value and variance of the sediment volume accumulated over a time span in a reservoir having them as inflows.
