Trap efficiency (TE) of a reservoir is calculated as the ratio of the sediment load retained in the reservoir to the total sediment load entering the reservoir. The formula is:
TE=(Total sediment inflowSediment retained​)×100
This calculation helps determine how effectively a reservoir can trap and retain incoming sediment. The efficiency depends on factors such as the settling velocity of the sediment particles and the hydraulic characteristics of the reservoir
