The awareness of the transmission of the sticky sediments for the development and maintenance of reservoirs and water transfer network is very important. This research was carried out to recognize and understand the dynamic behavior of fine-sticky sediments to obtain the necessary information for the Karkheh dam reservoir management. Sediment samples were taken from the four different points located in the dam reservoir. Liquidity and plasticity behaviors and their indices of the samples that were combined together were determined by doing the Atterberg limits experiment. To investigate the initial erosion threshold shear stress, the impact of consolidation and sediment depth were examined by cylindrical settling columns. Using a circular flume in, Shahrekord University Lab, the concentration process, changes of eroded sediments, shear stress threshold of erosion, erosion rates, etc. in different consolidation periods (3, 14 and 30 days) were studied. The results showed that the concentration of eroded sediments is a function of time for the consolidation of reservoir sediment and bed shear stress and also observed that the duration of consolidation time is an effective factor on critical erosion shear stress. So, the threshold shear stress values for consolidation time of 3, 14 and 30 days were, 0.16, 0.22, 0.31 N/m², respectively. The results of the erosion rate suggest an inverse relationship between this parameter and the life of the settled sediments based on the results the best flow shear stress for sediment removal by flashing from the Karkheh dam reservoir should be greater than 0.31 N/m².
