Chenderoh Hydropower Reservoir: Sedimentation Study and Reservoir Management
Chenderoh Dam is located at the lowest part of the cascading dam network which originates from Temengor Dam, Bersia Dam, and Kenering Dam. The area surrounding the catchment comprises mainly primary forest. In recent years widespread land clearing and agriculture development have contributed to higher sediment inflow rate and sediment deposition within the reservoir. Long-term sediment deposition would likely to result in storage losses in the reservoir which would impair the functionality of the reservoir for flood control and hydropower generation. A sustainable reservoir storage is vital when it comes to hydropower generation. As more water is able to be contained within the reservoir this conserves the energy within the system and is deployed when needed. Hydropower is considered renewable energy because of its ability to replenish and restore as soon as it is used, but in recent years the reservoir loses its storage capacity due to sedimentation despite the ability to replenish but not be able to store. The reservoir management approach using Reservoir Conservation (RESCON) method is adopted for Chenderoh Reservoir which combines both the understanding of the design life approach and life cycle approaches for reservoir sustainability and determines which of the reservoir management methods would provide the optimum benefit for the reservoir. This paper outlines a systematic approach toward the determination of soil loss from the catchment and through river field sampling. The data collected are analyzed through the RESCON model and a suitable ranking of sustainable reservoir management through sediment management is proposed.
