Abstract

The purpose of this review is to summarize the current standard of practices for estimating reservoir sediment inflows for the entire duration of their useful service life, normally 100-year ARI design period. To achieve this objective, a review of the past and contemporary literatures and conventions on sedimentation issues in Malaysia as well as other regional countries is imperative. A case study was carried out using the proposed Teriang reservoir. (CA = 59 km2) that is located mainly in the forested headwater region of Sg. Teriang which eventually joins Sg. Pahang further downstream in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. Both the low and high (Type I and II respectively) curves are adopted for predicting the suspended load concentration (mg/l) using normalized flow discharge per unit area (Q/km2; m3/s/km2). Alternative method by coupling the sediment rating and flow duration curve (both daily and monthly) are also used for checking purpose. The limitations and insights of total sediment loadings estimates for the case study are discussed in order of importance.
