Features: Based on the needs of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, the authors combine their achievements in sedimentation basin design and research over many years, as well as their experience in compiling the "Code for Sedimentation Basin Design of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering" (SL269-2001), to systematically summarize the technical theories and design methods for sedimentation basin design in water conservancy and hydropower engineering from a practical perspective. The book consists of 9 chapters and 2 appendices. Chapters 1-3 cover introduction, types and layout of sedimentation basins, and main dimensions of the settling section; Chapters 4-6 discuss the theoretical foundations and methods of sedimentation calculation; Chapter 7 focuses on flushing calculation for sedimentation basins; Chapter 8 covers operational design and monitoring; Chapter 9 presents engineering case studies; and the two appendices include worked examples and flowcharts for calculation programs. This book can serve as a textbook for similar professional courses in colleges and universities, as well as a reference for planning, design, and management personnel in water conservancy and hydropower engineering.
