Abstract
Siltation, the gradual accumulation of fine sediments, poses a significant threat to water quality, ecological balance, and sustainable resource management. This paper explores the various remedial measures and strategies aimed at mitigating the adverse impacts of siltation on reservoirs created by the construction of dams, particularly earthen dams. A range of remedial measures and management strategies are discussed. These include physical interventions, such as sediment removal techniques, sediment traps, and erosion control measures, as well as biological methods like the use of vegetation to stabilize riverbanks and improve sediment retention. Furthermore, we examine the role of sustainable land use practices, watershed management, and legislative policies in preventing and managing siltation. Through the implementation of these remedial measures, we can contribute to the preservation of our natural environment and improve the overall well-being of society.
