Problem 1. A water supply reservoir has an annual capacity of 40 x 10^3 acre-ft. It is serving a city with a present population of 85,00O, which is expected to increase to 150,000 in 25 years. How many years from now will the city's needs exceed the reservoir's capacity? Assume arithmetic growth of the population and an average daily draft from the reservoir of 175 gallons per person. Disregard the losses.

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
