CAMPOS-ARANDA, Daniel Francisco. Results for 35 bathymetries in the Northeastern-Central region of Mexico, according to the Universal Reservoir Sedimentation Diagram by Zhide Zhou. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.3, pp.163-173. ISSN 2007-2422.
This work first describes several concepts associated with reservoirs and their sedimentation. It then discusses in detail the "Universal Reservoir Sedimentation Diagram (URSD) proposed by Zhide Zhou in 1993. This diagram enables the representation of sedimentation occurring in any dam or reservoir in terms of two of the most important parameters: total storage capacity and mean annual runoff. The numerical results of 35 bathymetries conducted in small and medium dams in the central and northeastern regions of Mexico were diagrammed using the URSD and their location were interpreted. It is concluded that the URSD is a useful tool that enables the regional characterization of sedimentation occurring in reservoirs.
