This feasibility study has examined various alternatives to meet water supply, flood control and recreation needs in the Big River study area. Of the methods studied to satisfy the water supply needs of the study area, demand modification (water conservation), groundwater and surface water development were determined to be most feasible alternatives. Flood control storage at Big River Reservoir was found to be the most feasible method of flood damage reduction in the Pawtuxet basin. Recreation needs were best met by recreational development at the Big River site, to a maximal level consistent with the water supply purpose of the reservoir. This report recommends that the United States Congress authorize a plan of water resources development for the metropolitan Providence area that includes: (1) a multiple purpose reservoir providing water supply, flood control and recreation at the Big River site; (2) development of local groundwater in certain areas as water supply sources; and (3) a water conservation program for the entire metropolitan area. Of this overall water resources plan, the report recommends Federal construction of the $155.5 million Big River dam and reservoir project, excluding those elements which are not within Corps of Engineers implementation authority.

Research on reservoir sedimentation in recent years has been aimed mainly at water resources projects in developing countries. These countries, especially in Africa, often have to cope with long droughts, flash floods and severe erosion problems. Large reservoir capacities are required to capture water provided by flash floods so as to ensure the supply of water in periods of drought. The problem arising however is that these floods, due to their tremendous stream power, carry enormous volumes of sediment which, due to the size of reservoirs, are virtually deposited in toto in the reservoir basin, leading to fast deterioration of a costly investment. Accurate forecasting of reservoir behaviour is therefore of the utmost importance.This book fills a gap in current literature by providing in one volume comprehensive coverage of techniques required to practically investigate the effects sediment deposition in reservoirs has on the viability of water resources projects. Current techniques for practically estimating sediment yield from catchments, estimating the volume of sediment expected to deposit in reservoirs, predicting sediment distribution and calculating scour downstream of reservoirs are evaluated and presented. The liberal use of diagrams and graphs to explain the various techniques enhances understanding and makes practical application simple. A major feature of the book is the application of stream power theory to explain the process of reservoir sedimentation and to develop four new methods for predicting sediment distribution in reservoirs.The book is primarily directed at practising engineers involved in the planning and design of water resources projects and at post-graduate students interested in this field of study.

Management of water resources in large rivers basins typically differs in important ways from management in smaller basins. While in smaller basins the focus of water resources management may be on project implementation, irrigation and drainage management, water use efficiency and flood operations; in larger basins, because of the greater complexity and competing interests, there is often a greater need for long-term strategic river basin planning across sectors and jurisdictions, and considering social, environmental, and economic outcomes. This puts a focus on sustainable development, including consumptive water use and non-consumptive water uses, such as inland navigation and hydropower. It also requires the consideration of hard or technical issues—data, modeling, infrastructure—as well as soft issues of governance, including legal frameworks, policies, institutions, and political economy. Rapidly evolving technologies could play a significant role in managing large basins. This Special Issue of Water traverses these hard and soft aspects of managing water resources in large river basins through a series of diverse case studies from across the globe that demonstrate recent advances in both technical and governance innovations in river basin management.
