settling reservoir
1.When the concentration of sediment entering into the reservoir is 200kg/m3, the average settling rate is 0. 002cm/s from the appearance of interface of clear water and muddy water to the formation of consolidation layer, so the settling distance per day is 172. 8cm. It the depth of retained water were 18m, then the sediment could be discharged in high concentration in 10 days after the flood entering the reservoir.
