摘要：

The negative effect of sediment on hydraulic structures makes sustainability one of the most important things to consider in designing and operating of such structures. Intakes and pumping stations need a suitable strategy for that purpose. A proposed strategy of pumping rate control is evaluated in this study. Also, sub-watershed sediment control and the use of earth dykes are also examined. A suitable control code of the SSIIM2 model was prepared to simulate the flow and sediment of a pumping station at Mosul dam reservoir as a case study, which suffers from sedimentation problems. The results indicate that the maximum pumping rate increased the amount of sediment withdrawn by about 16% compared to a reference value at 25% pumping capacity, and the variation in the amount deposited in front of the intake was ±3%. The seasonal flow of the sub-watershed has a significant effect on the reservoir's sediment concentration, but it is limited to the rainfall period and the zone of flow near the sub-watershed outlets. The most effective strategy was a dyke with a suitable pumping rate. Siting the dyke correctly helps to reduce sediment deposition in front of and inside the structure by about 47 and 42%, respectively. © 2021 ICE Publishing: All rights reserved.
