Greg Morris on Reservoir Sediment Management Methods
Dr. Greg Morris wrote the first text on reservoir sediment management, which generated the categories and set the parameters for a lot of the work and conversations surrounding the topic in the last three decades. Most of us who work in this field got our start with his Reservoir Sedimentation Handbook.
But he has also likely worked on more reservoirs with sedimentation issues - in more settings - than anyone else and has an uncommon reservoir of practical - on the ground - wisdom to offer. We got into the details, pros and cons, and case studies of the different reservoir management alternatives from his experiences around the world.
Dr. Morris' Handbook and other useful publications are available to download here: www.reservoirsedimentation.com
