SOS-Water partner POLIMI, in collaboration with other international researchers, published a new paper on Water Resources Research on how to reduce impact of reservoirs on sediment connectivity in river by integrating sediment management strategies into the dam operations. Using a tributary of the Mekong River as a case study, the authors show how an optimzed management strategy can increase the sediment delivery to the river system with minimal loss in energy production.
