Silt Removal for SHP Projects

The document discusses the design of desilting tanks for small hydropower projects. It provides information on components of small hydropower schemes and types of desilting arrangements. The key parameters considered in designing desilting tanks are discussed, such as settling velocity, horizontal flow velocity, particle size to be removed. An example calculation for sizing a desilting tank is presented based on these parameters.
