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...

Market Projections for the Hydroelectric Industry
The hydroelectric industry enjoyed a rapid rate of development from 1980 through 1986. This expansion was fed in part by a combination of tax incentives, the PURPA legislation, and high...

Environmental Appraisal of Small Hydro Projects in Ontario
Despite a large interest from the developing community and the aid of Ontario's Small Hydro Encouragement Program (Ministry of Energy 1986) which is administrated by the Ontario...

Managing for Multiple Uses?Theory and Practice
One of the gratest challenges given to reservoir operators is to provide an operating regime that will accomplish the objectives for which the project was constructed. This is important...

The Role of Headwater Benefits in Hydropower Planning
Headwater benefits are the power benefits that accure to owners of downstream hydroelectric plants as a result of the operation of headwater improvements. The retention of water in upstream...

The Effect of Sedimentation on Hydro-Developments
This paper will discuss two major impacts which are the hydro construction on natural stream sedimentation and the sedimentation related problems during hydro operation. The two types...
