Trap efficiency of a storage reservoir is defined as the ratio of ___________________
(a) total annual sediment inflow to the reservoir capacity
(b) total sediment deposited in a given period to the total sediment inflow in that period
(c) total annual sediment deposited in the reservoir to the dead storage capacity of the reservoir
(d) reservoir capacity to the total annual sediment
I got this question during a job interview.
This intriguing question originated from Reservoir Capacity Determination Using Hydrograph and Mass-curve in section Reservoirs and Dam Reservoirs Planning of Irrigation Engineering
