Introduction
South Asia has countries with fast growing economies. To sustain this growth, a reliable power supply and adequate
water resources management are needed. Despite the priority given to the power sector development, limitations in
the availability of a reliable supply of power remain one of the most basic constraints to economic and human
development in South Asia. The South Asian region is endowed with a vast hydropower potential of the order of
200,000 to 250,000 MW of which half or more could be viably harnessed today. Large volumes of monsoon flows
and snow and glacier melt cascading down the Himalayas and other ranges could potentially be harnessed. Only
about twenty percent of this immense wealth has been tapped at this time.

Although hydropower continues to play a major role in meeting energy demands, it has its own share of challenges,
sedimentation being one of them. Sediment transport in the Himalayan Rivers is a natural phenomenon. Due to the
young geology and fragile topography, the rivers carry glacial silt and large quantities of sediments, posing serious
challenges to the various users of water, including hydropower. Over time, live storage and power generation are
reduced by reservoir sedimentation and turbine components damaged, resulting in non-sustainable projects.
Difficulties lie in conceiving of and developing sustainable projects that are both technically and economically
feasible and optimal, ensuring intergenerational equity, and dealing with the uncertainties of nature (rainfall,
earthquakes, landslides, etc). In recent years there has been greater focus on sediment management issues. The
Regional Cooperation in Sediment Management is being launched under the South Asia Water Initiative Program.

Objectives
The main objective of the program is to support sustainable hydropower development through regional
cooperation in sediment management. The program will be launched with a kick-off Workshop on 16-17 June 2009
in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Workshop will bring practitioners from the region and leading experts from the world to
discuss the existing challenges with sediment management tools that are currently available, and define a cooperative
framework towards operationalizing their findings across the region. .

Workshop participants
The participants will be representative of the core group of stakeholders comprising hydropower operators who
have to deal with sediments on a regular basis, consultants and planners who struggle to find the most cost effective
and efficient methods in managing sediments, researchers who have the resources and knowledge to help the
industry by learning about the real challenges, turbine manufacturers and suppliers who could benefit from a
network of practitioners in the region and sediment experts who could offer the latest state of the art technologies
in dealing with sediments.
