​Accumulation of sediments in dams is a significant problem that impacts the storage function of the dam. In Jordan, over 20% of the capacities of major dams are filled with sediment. This study aims to mitigate and manage sediment yield, as well as predict it based on peak flow at the Wadi Shu’eib Dam (WSD) catchment. The WSD has a capacity of 1.4 MCM in the Wadi Shu’eib catchment area in the Al-Balqa governorate. The Watershed Modeling System (WMS) and Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) models were employed to predict the runoff flood hydrograph and sediment yield of the catchment from 1985 to 2018. The rainfall stations at Wadi Shu’eib, Salt, South Shuna, and Hummar were utilized in the hydrologic modeling. The results indicated that the dominant land use is agricultural, characterized by loamy soil and steep slopes. The average annual precipitation over Wadi Shu’eib is 325 mm, with 60% evapotranspiration and 57 mm of surface runoff. The peak flow values for design storms with return periods of 25, 50, and 100 years were 158, 213, and 277 m3/s, respectively. The average annual sediment yield at the outlet of this dam is approximately 7.6 tons/ha. Four sediment mitigation measures are proposed to decrease the sediment deposited behind the dam. The results of the SWAT model indicated that reforesting 20 ha (about 1.5% of the catchment) would reduce sediment by 21%. Similarly, installing a hydraulic slurry dredge near the dam crest will decrease sediment by 38%. Furthermore, dry excavation of sediment during dry periods will lower the sediment by 40%. Moreover, if all proposed measures are implemented together, sediment removal could increase to 53%​
