For a sustainable and eco-friendly reservoir operation, long-term sediment management strategies are required. Among others, Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) are an effective and holistic countermeasure against reservoir sedimentation. They reduce reservoir sedimentation, restore disturbed sediment transport and thus enhance the eco-morphology of the downstream river reach. However, high flow velocities in combination with high sediment transport rates cause severe hydro-abrasive damages at the tunnel invert, resulting in expensive refurbishment works. Therefore, the present project aims at (1) addressing the hydro-abrasion problem and (2) investigating the effect of SBT operation on the ecomorphology of the downstream reach of the Albula river at the test case Solis SBT. The abrasion depths of various invert test fields implemented in the SBT were measured using a 3D-LASER-Scanner. Although abrasion traces on the various invert materials at the SBT were visually observed, it was not possible to extract quantitative abrasion depths from the scanned surface maps due to their low extent in the order of the laser device measurement accuracy. Therefore, the monitoring will be continued in the coming years. The eco-morphological investigations included two LiDAR flights, sediment sampling campaigns and meso-habitat surveys. The results suggest that SBT operations change the riverbed grain size composition rather rapidly, and that thanks to the analysis of the LiDAR data, a quantitative analysis of the morphological effects of the SBT operations was possible.
