Abstract:

Relatively higher rates of silting in Lake Shafer, Indiana during the past few years have been a matter of concern to its owners, operators, and users. Potential causes for observed increases in sedimentation rates are traced. Several structural and non-structural remedial actions were considered to reduce the rate of lake sedimentation. Efficiency of the sediment traps was analyzed using SEDIMOT-II model. The combination of dredging and construction of silt traps at strategic locations appears to be a feasible option to reduce sedimentation in this recreational lake.
