Abstract / Summary:

The Waterway Management Program, within the Cooperative Research Centre for
Catchment Hydrology comprises six projects in total, three first round projects (Bl, B2,B4) and three projects initiated in 1997 (Wl, W2, W3). Project Bl considered sources and control of sediment yield from catchments and streams. The study reported here considers the supply of sediment from erosion of shorelines in reservoirs, with particular attention paid to the Eppalock water supply reservoir in northern Victoria. This report was prepared by Jennifer Davis as a component of her postgraduate research. Her thesis research has focussed on the control of sediment delivery in water supply catchments. Both the results of the study, and the methods used will have more general application for other reservoirs.
