Integrated Evaluation of Increasing Irrigation Efficiency and Reducing Discharge Impacts on Hydropower Generation of Basin Water Resources System(Case Study: Dez Irrigation Network – Dez Dam)
World electricity production today is heavily dependent on water resources. Studies have shown that global warming and climate changes will have significant impacts on available water resources to produce hydroelectric power. Considering that the reservoir dam in the catchment area of Dez is simultaneously a producer of hydropower and supplier of water needed for agricultural land, the aim of t...
متن کاملEvaluation of mitigation measures to reduce hydropeaking impacts on river ecosystems - a case study from the Swiss Alps.
New Swiss legislation obligates hydropower plant owners to reduce detrimental impacts on rivers ecosystems caused by hydropeaking. We used a case study in the Swiss Alps (hydropower company Kraftwerke Oberhasli AG) to develop an efficient and successful procedure for the ecological evaluation of such impacts, and to predict the effects of possible mitigation measures. We evaluated the following...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Model to Maximize Profit of Hydropower Plants in the Long-Run
The problem of hydropower plant profit maximization includes simultaneous programming of optimal utilization of water resources and participation in the power market. The present research was performed on a chain of hydropower plants within the Karoon river basin in Khuzestan Province (Iran) (i.e. Karoon 3, Karoon 1, and Masjid Soleyman hydropower plants). In this research nonlinear programmi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sandstone and Aquaculture Industries on Water Quality (Case Study: Mohammad Abad River, Gorgan)
Abstract Aquaculture development and construction materials have reduced water health. In this study, we have measured the water quality parameters of Mohammad Abad River, has a mean role in flood control, Fazelabad water supply and ecological balance, compared it with surface water standards. The value of Water Temperature, Turbidity, Dissolved Solids, Salinity (EC), Phosphate, Nitrate, Nitri...
متن کاملApplication of classification trees-J48 to model the presence of roach (Rutilus rutilus) in rivers
In the present study, classification trees (CTs-J48 algorithm) were used to study the occurrence of roach in rivers in Flanders (Belgium). The presence/absence of roach was modelled based on a set of river characteristics. The predictive performance of the CTs models was assessed based on the percentage of Correctly Classified Instances (CCI) and Cohen's kappa statistics. To find the best model...
