NEWS NOTES ON SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES Webinars on Reservoir Sedimentation CIRES and the Western Water Assessment sponsor a webinar series on Reservoir Sedimentation and Sustainability. The nation’s 90,000 dams and reservoirs constitute a critical component of the country’s infrastructure ensuring the stability of water and energy supplies and flood risk management. However, the reservoir storage capacity, essential to meeting these purposes, has been filling with sediment (clay, silt, sand, gravel, and cobble). The Subcommittee on Sedimentation’s National Reservoir Sedimentation and Sustainability Team presents on sustainable solutions to reservoir sediment management.
