An Integrated Project Control Model
This paper defines the scope of current project control activities and presents an overview of the tools used to control projects. Problems with current project control systems and the...

Expert Systems for Civil Engineers
Education
While the technology of expert systems can provide engineers with another approach to the development of computable models for civil engineering problems, it is not clear what a course...

Movable Dam?Gate Selection Procedure
Very few new dams are now being considered, particularly for waterpower and even more specifically for low head waterpower in the lower reaches of major rivers. The City of Harrisburg,...

The Uses of CADD in Hydropower Development
The hydropower community needs inexpensive methods to thoroughly and quickly analyze the siting of hydroelectric projects. Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and programs like HYSIZE...

Small Hydro Analysis and Reporting Program
The Ontario Ministry of Energy initiated a project to develop an analysis program based upon metric measures and Canadian costs. The Ministry of Energy of the Province of Ontario has been...

Spreadsheet Applications for Hydropower Developers and Operators
This paper will examine the role of spreadsheet analysis in all aspects of hydropower development. The structure of the presentation will be first to briefly present an overview of the...

Development of Turbine Intake Downstream Migrant Diversion Screen
Prior to the spring of 1986 Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County had developed a passive turbine intake screen design. A prototype of this design was placed in the emergency gate...

Protection of Juvenile Anadromous Fish
Protection of juvenile anadromous fish (salmon, steelhead, etc. ) during their seaward migration is a major concern in the Pacific Northwest. The existing screening structures at the head...

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...

Glen Canyon Environmental Studies Resource Response Analysis
The primary objective of the Glen Canyon Environmental Studies is to determine how the resources of the Grand Canyon respond to the operations of Glen Canyon Dam. Two levels of analysis...

Bio-Economic Models for Measuring the Economic Effects of Hydropower on Anadromous Fish Populations in the Pacific Northwest
