The storage capacity of reservoirs is gradually depleted due to sediment accumulation that causes changes in the area-storage capacity curves (ASC). These curves are important for planners, designers and operators of dams. Many empirical and semi-empirical approaches have been suggested for establishing and predicting these curves. In this study two empirical methods were evaluated and used to determine the sedimentation volume for Ujjani reservoir, (also known as Yashwant sagar reservoir) on river Bhima in Solapur district, Taluka Madha of Maharashtra state of India. Ujjani reservoir started operating in 1980 with a storage capacity of 3320.008 MCM and a water spread area of 336.5 M sq. m. In this research, sediment distribution concerning reservoir dam of Ujjani was estimated by area reduction and area-increment methods regarding primary area-volume-height information of dam. Finally, empirical method of area-reduction was chosen which estimates the sediment amount in this dam with lowest level of error. The experimental area reduction method is a technique for predicting sediment distribution in dam's reservoir and its parameters (C, m, n) have been obtained by Borland and Miller on the information from a limited number of dams in America.
