Re: diversion dam trap efficiency

Using the analysis results from RiverCAD HEC-RAS, you would have to manually compute the sediment transport and sediment trap efficiency.

The USGS recently published a report on sediment trap efficiency for small reservoirs:

And, performing a google search, you can find other references to how to compute sediment trap efficiency:
