INTRODUCTION
• Sediment is a fragment of organic or inorganic material that have been broken down
by weathering & erosion which settles down in river or lakes.
• Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle
out of the suspension under the effect of gravity.
• Reservoir sedimentation is filling of the reservoir behind the dam with sediment
carried into the reservoir by streams.
• These sediments are deposited in the reservoir on upstream of the dam because of
the reduction of velocity.
• Factors influencing Sedimentation are Sediment particle size, size & shape of
reservoir, sediment inflow.
NECESSITY
• Over 90 major & medium dams in the state have sedimentation in the range of 7-17%
over the life of reservoirs, a satellite survey done by Maharashtra Engineering Research
Institute (MERI) has revealed.
• The Sedimentation in Gangapur Dam at Nashik has found to be on the higher side about
15.23% in the 42th year since its construction.
• The reason for Gangapur Dam high amount of silt is that it is located near the origin of
the Godavari River. Reduction in the storage capacity of reservoir due to accumulated
sediment.
• Accumulation of sediment affects the performance of hydraulic structure.
• Reduction in availability of water for irrigation

INFERENCE FROM LITERATURE
• The researchers used Geographic Information System (GIS) in soil erosion modelling
by integrating it with some imperial or other techniques and it was found useful
in all type of land forms.
• Few of the researchers used GIS, SWAT platforms for their study, whereas others
used other combinations.
• It is also observed that the integration of software, tools and various method with
GIS give better solutions in terms of mapping and analysis. Remote Sensing has
some limitations.
• In the present study, an attempt is made to build a SWAT model to estimate
sediment yield and suggest conservation practices for Gangapur dam in Nashik
district of Maharashtra, India.
