Mount Ogden with Pineview Reservoir in the foreground, June 2008 Flood control has been estimated at nearly ten million dollars between the years of 1950 and 1999. The capacity of the dam and its ability to discharge water at up to 1,600 cubic feet (45 m 3 ) per second into the Ogden River have proved beneficial during times of intense water ...

Due to sedimentation and other factors that affect a reservoir's storage capacity over time, some data listed might not accurately reflect actual current conditions in certain reservoirs. For example, Lake Mead – the largest reservoir in the U.S. – could store more than 32.4 million acre-feet (40.1 km 3 ) when first filled, but sediment ...
The downside will be a greatly enhanced risk of river flooding as snow melts later this season into the spring, mainly from the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada into California's vast Central ...
Northern California's San Luis Reservoir was only one-quarter full in December, and is now nearly full after the state's wet winter. Stunning before-and-after images: California reservoir went ...
The proposed $4.5 billion reservoir would inundate nearly 14,000 acres of ranch lands in Glenn and Colusa counties to store water diverted from the Sacramento River through new a system of dams ...
The flushing flow method involves partially or completely emptying the reservoir behind a dam to erode the sediment stored on the bottom and transport it downstream. [7] [6] Flushing flows aim to restore natural water and sediment fluxes in the river downstream of the dam, however the flushing flow method is less costly compared to removing dams or constructing bypass tunnels.
A reservoir model represents the physical space of the reservoir by an array of discrete cells, delineated by a grid which may be regular or irregular. The array of cells is usually three-dimensional, although 1D and 2D models are sometimes used. Values for attributes such as porosity, permeability and water saturation are associated with each ...
