Assessment of the usefulness of hydrologic data for hydro power feasibility analysis. Research technical completion report, project A-068-IDA Item Info

This report has defined methods of extrapolating hydrologic data for use in hydropower feasibility studies. Two large drainage basins in Idaho were studied and measured flow data from various streams in those basins were used to develop parametric duration curves similar to those developed by Heitz and the University of Idaho in earlier studies. Comparison studies made in the report defined the general limits of curve extrapolation and indicated the required flow data input for making acceptable flow duration analysis. In addition, the economic consequences of using different predicted values of flow duration were demonstrated.
