Abstract:	Reservoirs, especially which are formed by dams on natural water courses are subject to some degree of sediment inflow and deposition. Because of this, they are exposed to sediment-related problems. Legedadi, the main water supply resource of Addis Ababa city, is loosing its capacity due to sedimentation. Bathymetric surveys in 1979 and 1998 have been undertaken to estimate the extent of the sediment in the reservoir and shows that sediments are accumulating at a rate of 0.11Mm3/year for the intervening period. This paper presents the attempts made to assess the amount of sediment inflow and the total quantity which is accommodated to date on Legedadi reservoir using SWAT watershed and CCHE1D sediment transport models. These two models were applied to a variety of sediment studies in different countries like Wyoming East Fork river, Danjangkon reservoir, Mississippi Goodwin Creek water shade, Taiwan Pa-chang…and a good agreement between measured and computed yields is illustrated.
