Reservoir was the main sources in order to get basic needs in daily life but due to human activities the quality of water environment affected. A reservoir ordinarily formed by the construction of dam to store water. The most commonly purposed of this reservoir is to provide flood control, supply water for domestic purpose and to generate hydroelectric power. Reservoirs provide the most effective control for unexpected floods when reservoir waters levels are low, so that excess runoff can be storage. However, trapping sediments have been identify due to some of the environmental damages. Reservoir sedimentation is a very serious problem that will cause capacity reduction and water quality deterioration. This paper provides a framework to understand deeply the principles of siphon and to improve the design of the siphon to remove the sediment in reservoir.
