Abstract: In a small reservoir in Ebro river (Spain) an industrial waste deposit must be removed to restore it to an ecological admissible situation and avoid downstream contamination in future flood events. The hydrodynamics of Flix reservoir have been studied for the removal project to define a safe procedure of waste extraction. A two dimensional model has been developed using CARPA system. The particular features of the reservoir’s flow advised the construction of a physical model and a field campaign to verify and complement the numerical simulations. For that reason vertical velocity profiles were measured in both physical model and field by means of acoustic Doppler instruments. In the present paper the more relevant results obtained in the three working levels (numerical, physical model and field) are shown, as well as the comparison between them.
