Abstract: Consistently the demand of water is increasing and available sources of potable water on earth are diminishing. Sustainable use of reservoir is ensured by monitoring sedimentation process of any reservoir and taking required measures timely to control the rate of sedimentation. Data is collected and analysis is carried out to know the rate of sedimentation and reduced capacity of the reservoir. Trap efficiency (TE), an important factor governs the sediment phenomenon in reservoir. As the age of reservoir increases, the TE decreases in most of reservoirs. This study is an attempt to predict TE of Gandhi Sagar Reservoir and to analyse the effect of age on TE. Results show that there is no significant reduction of TE in 55 years.
