Abstract This paper describes a melding of an established set of hydrological component processes to obtain a full-scale model for reservoir sedimentation. The goal is to achieve a probabilistic system relating reservoir sedimentation to standard injection, river flow, particle transport, and dam storage subsystems. In the conclucing section, it is found that for a certain assembly of process components, the sedimentation process is Poisson, with parameters interpretable in terms of physical variables. Moreover, for the resulting parameters, a Gaussian approximation can confidently be adopted.
