Bukit Merah Reservoir (BMR) is one of the 51 impoundments in Malaysia. BMR is the oldest reservoir built in the early 1900s originally to store water for irrigation, but nowadays its functions ...
Reservoir sedimentation is a process that involves the gradual accumulation of incoming sediment within a reservoir. The process is a result of a complex interaction between the various sediment transport processes that prevail in the river and the surface soil erosion within the basin as well as the hydrodynamics of the reservoir.
Numerical modeling assessment were conducted in order to determine the sedimentation and hence able to predict the sedimentation pattern in Bukit Merah Reservoir, Perak, Malaysia. Bukit Merah is ...

Bukit Merah Reservoir is the main potable and irrigation water source for Kerian District, Perak State, Malaysia. For the past two decades, the reservoir has experienced water stress. Land-use activities have been identified as the contributor of the sedimentation. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool …
Sediment impacts on aquatic ecosystems of the Bukit Merah Reservoir, Perak, Malaysia 261 Suspended sediment concentrations and turbidity In 2007, the mean SSC in the lake was 8.61 mg L-1, ranging from 0.93 mg L-1 in the dry months to 38.0 mg L-1 in the rainy season (Table 2). The mean SSC was higher in 2008 (13.52 ± 19.98 mg L-1). The mean …
A reservoir is one of the key sources of water supply as it provides hydroelectric power and provides flood protection. However, reservoir storage is often affected by sedimentation due to soil erosion in the catchment area [1]. Reservoir sedimentation is a threat to the optimal use of water resources. a Corresponding author : [email protected]

Generally, soil erosion is the major cause of reservoir sedimentation and subsequent sedimentation of reservoirs is a complex process dependent upon a number of natural and anthropogenic factors. The causes are classified into two with respect to the factors, namely; Natural Causes. Anthropogenic Causes.
