					<p>Reservoir sedimentation is continuing to be an essential obstacle to the long-term performance of dams and water infrastructure, with consequences for hydropower generation, flood control, and environmental integrity. This bibliometric study analyzes 118 peer-reviewed publications from 2014 to 2024, retrieved from Scopus, focusing on sediment flushing and reservoir sedimentation. Using Excel, VOSviewer, RStudio, and MapChart, the study maps publication trends, methodological diversity, co-authorship networks, and institutional contributions. The dataset reveals a marked increase in publication activity over the study period, with numerical modeling consistently leading in frequency and application. This upward trend reflects growing global attention to sediment-related challenges and the expanding role of computational strategies in addressing complex hydraulic phenomena. Further efforts could emphasize integrating field-based validation with existing models to enhance reliability. Expanding comparative studies across diverse regions may also improve the adaptability of sediment management strategies.
