Efforts to meet the water supply and energy needs of the country in a changing economic, environmental, and technical environment create new opportunities for joint action by water and...

Vilavilani Hydroelectric Project
There is an urgent need to solve the water and energy shortages in the Department of Tacna, on the coast of Southern Peru. The Vilavilani Hydroelectric Project could solve some of the...

Staged Water Resource Development Can Improve Economics and Advance Project Implementation
This paper provides reasons for staging, and describes functional types of staged developments, and planning and evaluation of these developments. Many water resources projects can be...

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...

Field Experiences in Improving Water Quality Downstream From Dams
Recent experiences by the Tennessee Valley Authority in improving water quality and fish habitat downstream from dams are presented. At Douglas Dam, floating pumps near the surface of...

Reservoir Releases Improvements?Requiem for Integrating Pollution Control and Resource Management Programs?
To better define the interrelationships between economic growth and development, pollution control, and water resource management, TVA conducted two studies that examined how reservoir...

Reservoir Regulation in the Monsoon Climate of Korea
An examination of reservoir regulation rules in light of uncertain estimates of river flow in the Han River Basin, Republic of Korea, shows that two strategies will improve total hydroelectric...

Simulation of Irrigation and Reservoir Water Use
Computer simulation of irrigation water use and corresponding downstream reservoir operation has been developed for the Canyon Ferry Reservoir on the Missouri River in Southwestern Montana....

Appropriate Design and Construction of Conduits for Small and Mini Hydropower
The success of smaller hydro schemes often lies in identifying feasible and economic waterway systems to develop relatively high heads between low intake weir and powerstation. This paper...

Cedar Falls Project?Major Rehabilitation
This paper presents planning objectives and operational considerations which governed the design and construction of a major rehabilitation project implemented at the City of Seattle's...

Osoyoos Lake Control Structure
The new Osoyoos Lake Control Structure has been built on the Okanogan River at Oroville, Wa. The site is about 2 miles downstream from the outlet of Osoyoos Lake, and about 9 miles south...

Model Studies for Potential Modification of Pardee Spillway
East Bay Municipal Utility District, a public water supply agency in the San Francisco Bay Area, is examining the spillway adequacy of its primary water supply reservoir. Flood routing...

Free-Rotor, River-Velocity Turbine
This paper discusses the development of a very simple and inexpensive underwater turbine which will extract power ranging from a fraction of a HP up to 20 HP from the velocity of the running...

Fire Protection at the Grand Coulee Hydro Project
In the fall of 1980 a rupture of one of the Project's 525kV transmission cables occurred and created a fire. Power from three Third Powerplant 700MW units was interrupted,...

Control and Tests of Tims Ford Induction Generator
This paper will discuss the electrical control scheme and commissioning tests developed for a small induction generator installed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) at its Tims Ford...

The Stanley Canyon Conduit Hydroelectric Project
The Stanley Canyon Hydroelectric Project is an excellent example of the maximum use of a natural resource. The project is a combined water supply and hydroelectric facility which received...

Our Municipal Water System Has Power
Hydroelectric potential exists in the Boulder, Colorado municipal water system. Excess pressure is developed in the water system because the water originates in the Rocky Mountains, west...

Hydropower Goes Downtown
Beneath a busy street in Southern California seems an unlikely location for a small hydroelectric generating plant. However, located just below El Segundo Boulevard in the town of El Segundo...
