Decrease in freshwater reserves due to climate change and its increasingly unpredictable effects, requires the construction of new dams and maintenance of storage capacity of existing reservoirs. Damming projects, generally consider a useful life of 50 years, as a result of sediments that will accumulate in the reservoir. However, after that time has elapsed, it is not feasible to suspend the activities generated around a dam. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the useful life of reservoirs, through sediment management practices using the structures that make up the dams, which involves lower costs compared to other alternatives. Most widespread sediment management practices are sluicing, flushing, and venting of turbidity streams. It is required a review of these practices to implement them in Peru, which is developed in the present study, where evaluation of the Congalla dam is carried out. This project came into operation in October 2016, which required for its construction a particular diversion work, consisting of a metal barrel pipeline. This pipeline later became the bottom discharge, with a length of 100 m and an internal diameter of 0.60 m, much more than technically necessary, but cheaper than other options. What is sought is to take advantage of the duct section’s area, to verify its usefulness for elimination of sediments. An analysis of information has been carried out in office and arduous fieldwork in dry and rainy seasons, in months of August 2018 and March 2019 respectively. According to calculations, after two and a half years, there is an accumulation of sediments of 2793.24 m3 using empirical formulas and 1633.49 m3 according to measurements made. By opening the discharge valve, have been obtained results of up to 1.08% removal of sediments calculated through measurements, which is a good indicator of cleaning efficacy. Negative effects on the ecosystem, from the sediments released downstream from the dam, were undetectable.
