DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EFFICIENT MICRO-HYDROELECTRIC SCHEME FOR LOW HEADS

...r carefully studying the hydrology and geographical conditions of the site, turbine is designed for the heads of 3 to 10 meters obtainable from streams and irrigation channels. The low efficiency in already existing hydroelectric scheme used is addressed and compared with the existing scheme. Using the standard equations, trash rack, penstock and turbine is designed thus keeping the power losses as low as 4%. Hence finally an electrical power of 25kW is produc...

ASSESSMENT OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT LOAD FROM GOAML RIVER AND ITS IMPACT ON THE GOMAL ZAM DAM LIFESPAN

...led by the surface water hydrology division of WAPDA was analyzed. Based on the available data and using regression analysis a model is developed to establish a correlation between water discharge and sediment load. The model is an attempt to ascertain the rate of erosion in the catchment of the Gomal River since no generalized model has so far been developed to explain the nature of such weathering activities and all such works are situati...

Assessing Hydrological Characteristics in Iraq Dams

Huda M. Hamid¹, Fadia W. Al-Azawi²* and Zaid F. Makki³

...is study, an analysis of hydrology characteristics of Iraqi dams has been presented which include DAM flow direction, mesh flow, agricultural area improvement, waterway division, and basin determination. These characteristics provide valuable insights into country’s water resources management, including the optimization of water use for different purposes and the strategies’ development to deal with water scarcity and drought. The analysis of

...aphy, vegetation, soils, hydrology and climate and to interpret these data for the drawing up of land use plans relative to the needs of sound management of these watersheds and for the preparation of management plans for proper working of the forests situated therein. The project covers one of the most difficult and inaccessible areas of the world. Altitudes vary from about 500 meters to well over 7000 meters above mean sea level. Communication is poor and th...
