Flow of Water Towards the Oceans

why resevoirs...

Question

why resevoirs water handling capacity decreases by time

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student, With the passage of time the water handling capacity of decrease because when the water flows through the reservoir it also carries sediments. These sediments get deposited at the bottom of the reservoir taking the space of the water. This causes the reduction in capacity.
