Deposition of sediments in the reservoir is problematic as it reduces the reservoir’s potential storage capacity. These accumulated sediments can be removed in a variety of ways including sluicing through the bottom outlet of the dam (if one exists) and dredging.

“Existing reservoirs are routinely surveyed to determine sediment deposition and resulting loss of storage”.[1]
