This paper deals with the sedimentation of suspended load in the reservoirs. As an example the reservoir of the HPP Boštanj on the Sava River is shown. The objective of the described studies was to determine the quantity and type of deposited material in the reservoir. Considering the actual water discharge during the selected time period and the examined ratio between the flow rate of the water and the quantity of suspended material, the total quantity of sedimented material in this period was estimated.

This paper presents an analysis of the suspended-load sedimentation process that is based on the interaction between the sedimentation, i.e., the settling, velocity and the motion of the water. The settling velocity of spherical particles in the presence of a buoyancy force is a function of the particle size. The particle size and the concentration of suspended material depend on the water discharge. Motion of the water in the reservoirs with high daily oscillations is solved by three-dimensional modeling of liquid streams.
