Sustainability of hydroelectric dams has been questioned due to the sedimentation, erosion and vortex formation at the dams. This study had assessed the potential of sedimentation, erosion and vortex formation based on the flow pattern formed via hydraulic physical model (Scale of 1:100). Four cases...
