Abstract

The current study attempted to reduce sediment movement in the Euphrates River in front of the Fallujah Dam by implementing three engineering solutions, including lining the riverbank and using groins and weirs. for the study area, the length of the reach river is (1.7Km). The model of one-dimensional HEC- RAS version 5.0.7 was used to distribute 15 cross-sections along the study reach. Three scenarios for sediment transport were tested in the current study. By comparing the results of these scenarios to the natural state of sediment transport, it was found that the sediment quantities have decreased as follows as a percentage: for maximum flow rate (634 m3/s), the groin stat reduces the quantities of sediment by about 19.5 percent of the total sediment quantities, and for average flow rate (410 m3/s), the groin stat reduces the quantities of sediment by about (26.4 percent, 25.4 percent) of the total sediment quantities for groin stat and weir, for minimum flow rate (268 m3/s), the reduces of the quantities of sediment by about (21.4%, 3.4 %) of the total sediment quantities for groin stat and weir Where it was determined that the groin is the best solution from the engineering solutions considered for all scenarios.
