<br />trap efficiency (reservoir).--The percentage of the sediment load that is <br />retained in a reservoir to total sediment load flowing into the reservoir. .. <br />Trap efficiency depends on reservoir size, on reservoir shape, on the nature <br />of the sediment entering the reservoir, on reservoir operation, and on the <br />ratio of storage capacity to inflow volume. <br /> <br />useful life of a reservoir.--See economic life of a reservoir. <br /> <br />waste.--As used in the Arkansas River basin and in this report, waste is a <br />local term that refers to water turned back into the source stream or lake <br />unused.
