ABSTRACT We describe the change in fish community of Porce River Magdalena Basin, Colombia, following construction III hydropower reservoir based on 13 years monitoring data. The results show a clear reduction number native species, which have been supplanted by colonizing non-native especially reservoir. Four species detected prior to dam apparently disappeared, but 12 new were registered post...

he implementation of downstream mitigation for fish passage at hydropower facilities has three distinct goals: to transport fish downstream; to prevent fish from entrainment in turbine intakes; and to move fish, in a timely and safe manner, through a reservoir.1 A range of mitigation methods for downstream passage and for prevention of turbine entrainment exist, and some have been applied with ...

Vortex formation due to power generation at hydropower dams could cause serious problems, and eliminating or reduction in its strength is one of the dam designer and manager duties. Therefore, the design and use of anti-vortex structures is usual. Design of an anti-vortex structure for each project is unique and it is therefore necessary to have knowledge about the performance of each one. In t...

The Janneh dam is a 162-meter high Roller Compacted Concrete arch-gravity dam under construction in the Nahr Ibrahim Valley of Lebanon. The impounded reservoir will supply water, irrigate agricultural areas and generate hydropower [1]. The dam will serve the Northern areas of Greater Beirut Mount Lebanon [2]. The project site is located in highseismicity region. The Peak Ground Accelerations ar...

Abstract. This study enhances an existing global hydrological model (GHM), Xanthos, by adding a new water management module that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of irrigation, hydropower, and flood control reservoirs. We remapped reservoirs in Global Reservoir Dam (GRanD) database to 0.5∘ spatial resolution Xanthos so single lumped reservoir exists per grid cell, which yie...

While in the field of hydrology remote sensing techniques are often applied and well accepted there is still a deficit in the use of remote sensing techniques in the field of planning, design and operation of water resources systems. It is the aim of this paper to overcome this deficit and encourage water managers to use remote sensing techniques more widely. In order to achieve this, several s...

The rapid spread of quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) has lead to their invasion of Lake Mead, Nevada, the largest reservoir in North America and partially responsible for providing water to millions of people in the southwest. Current strategies for mitigating the growth and spread of quagga mussels primarily include physical and chemical means of removing adults within water tr...

The mid-long term optimal operation of hydropower station is a nonlinear combinatorial optimization problem with strong constraint. This paper eliminates the problem constraints by introducing penalty function and solving this problem with DE algorithm, simultaneously, it proposes a few improvements according to the disadvantages of DE algorithm: adopt the scheme which generates differential ve...

Hydropower has superior storage capacity and speedy response to meet sudden fluctuations in electricity demand. According to a recent estimate by International Energy Agency (IEA), its generation capacity could double by 2050. Nevertheless, no great picture of academic knowledge exists in relation to hydropower. This study was undertaken to reveal the academic landscape in this field by analysi...

To maximize annual power generation and to improve firm power are important but competing goals for hydropower stations. The firm power output is decisive for the installed capacity in design, and represents the reliability of the power generation when the power plant is put into operation. To improve the firm power, the whole generation process needs to be as stable as possible, while the maxi...
