Yali Reservoir, Vietnam• What is the sediment
inflow to Yali?• How do historic
sediment loads vary with changes in flow/rainfall and land use?
• What are the implications for reservoir life?

Global: (Vanoni, 1975)10 – 20,000 t/km²/yr
Mekong: (Kummu, 2010)18 – 489 t/km²/yr
3S Basin (Kummu, 2010)220 – 240 t/km²/yr
Yali (KT & TN observation data 1990 – 2009)79 – 1,051 t/km²/yr

Long term trends in SSY
Annual increment in SSY in 2005-09 is ~ double the 90-97 rate

Drivers of trends in SSY

A. Changes in rainfall/flow regime
B. Changes in land use

Yali Reservoir trapping efficiency• Brune’s method (1953) based on residence
time of reservoir• Applied previously in the Mekong • Sesan TE: 0.851 – 0.95 (Kummu, 2010)• Yali: 0.83

Yali annual sediment deposition dynamics
SL(in) = 2 mcmSL(res) = 1.67 mcm
SL(out) = 0.33 mcm
SL(res)05-09 = 3.13 mcm
SL(res)90-97 = 1.38 mcm

Next (final!) steps1. Explore sensitivity of Yali sediment inflow to land use change
using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation– Maximum catchment erosion (aggressive deforestation scenario)– Minimised catchment erosion (aggressive afforestation scenario)
2. Estimate changes in reservoir half life based on change upland management

Sediment delivery ratio• Sediment transport cycle more
complex and slower than water cycle
• Signification proportion stored in catchment:– Hillslopes– Gullies– Microtopographic features– Human structures (check dams,
reservoirs)• SSY = <10% of sediment
production in large catchments (>100km²) (Annandale, 2003)
