Hydropower Development of the Hongshuihe, China
Power is the predominant factor in the development of the Hongshuihe River. The Province of Guangdong is the most highly developed area in the Pearl River Basin, where the fast growing...

Sri Lanka's Mini-Hydro Rehabilitation Programme
As part of Sri Lanka's medium term investment programme funded mainly by the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, the British Government's Overseas Development...

Hydro Development on the Huallaga River in Peru
The proposed Chaglla Hydroelectric Project, is located on the Huallaga River in Central Peru, about 300 km north east of Lima. The available gross head of 870 m and regulated flow of 58...

Expansion of Three Plants on the Saranac River
The capacity of three cascading hydro power plants, owned and operated by New York State Electric and Gas Corporation on the Saranac River near Plattsburgh, was expanded by a total of...

Considerations for Retrofitting Large Dams for Hydropower
The majority of large dams which are currently being retrofitted for hydropower are either flood-control impoundments or navigation structures. In the Ohio River Division of the U. S....

Federal Vs. Non-Federal Hydroelectric Development
This paper presents the methodology and results of economic and financial analyses that were performed to indicate the optimum size powerplants that would be constructed assuming Federal...

Equipment Selection and Site Optimization Based on Energy Considerations
Most new hydro plants contribute little or nothing to overall system capacity. Therefore, traditional evaluation techniques based on dollars per installed kilowatt have no relevance when...

Impact of Annual Repayment on Efficient Use of Power Revenues
Congressional efforts to control Federal budget deficits are leading to new requirements for fixed annual repayment of investment in power and irrigation facilities. Traditionally, investments...

Studies of Fish Protection Methods at Hydroelectric Plants
Five largely untested but economical fish-protection systems were tested at sites throughout North America. The process of selecting laboratory and field test sites was completed at the...

Effects of Selective Withdrawal and Hypolimnetic Releases on Downstream Fish Resources
Selective withdrawal (multilevel outlet) structures on dams can be operated to modify reservoir discharges with the goal of improving downstream water quality and fish resources. A study...

Enhancement of Walleye Spawning Habitat Through Flow Regulation
This paper present the results of a study focused on assessing the flow requirements for walleye spawning below a hydroelectric project. The results suggested that both the fishery resource...

The Simulation of Variable Release Temperatures from the Rock Creek-Cresta Project Using the USFWS Instream Temperature Model
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGandE) operates the Rock Creek-Cresta Project on the North Fork Feather River (NFFR) for hydroelectric generation under authority of Federal Energy Regulatory...

An Approach to Addressing Interactive Effects of Multiple Hydro Projects in a River Basin
Cumulative effects issues continue to arise, not only related to multiple small hydro projects, but also to multiple relicensing of major projects, development of multiple projects at...

Cumulative Impact Assessment: Issues to Consider in Selecting a Cumulative Assessment Method
Because widespread interest in the subject is new, there are no standard or generally recognized methods for cumulative impact assessment. A method should include procedures for (1) evaluating...

Cumulative Impact Assessment: Application of a Methodology
The authors expanded upon the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Cluster Impact Assessment Procedure (CIAP) to provide a practical methodology for assessing potential...

Downramping to Minimize Stranding of Salmonid Fry
The objective of this study was to develop a downramping regime for the Jackson Hydroelectric Project on the Sultan River in Washington that minimizes the stranding of juvenile salmon...

Project Alternatives to Benefit Endangered Species
In April 1986, the Missouri River Division, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, determined that operation of the main stem system had the potential to adversely affect the listed species. Consultation...

Instream Flow Methodologies and Requirements
Instream flow is a term applied to the discharge occurring downstream from and at least partly controlled by a dam or diversion structure. The volume and timing of instream flows most...

Feasibility of Cold Water Releases from Lake Britton
The Pit River in Shasta County, California, is the site of the Pit 3, 4 and 5 Project, a major hydroelectric facility operated by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGandE) under Federal...

Simulation of the Stanislaus Project: Performance of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Instream Temperature Model on a Complex System
The primary objective of the study was to characterize the temperature regime of the MFSR Middle Fork Stanislaus River and determine the effect of alternate release flows on stream temperature...
