tributaries

• Reservoir sediment accumulation– Field mapping of reservoir

bathymetry (DGPS)– Computation of changes in

bathymetry with time– Relation between sediment

inflow and reservoir accumulation

• Studies of sediment yield– Sediment yield from

catchments– Application of distributed

• Our situation:We have a comprehensive research activity of high quality, internationally oriented and in good cooperation with SINTEF.

• Our ambition:To be the undisputedly most important centre of competence within the area of hydraulic and environmental engineering in Norway - as well as being at level with the best centres internationally

• Our greatest challenge:To recruit as many students to our study program as needed by those engineering areas that we serve in society
