German version Hydraulic Modeling Ecohydraulics Renaturation Development of Watercourses ... Model Development Hydraulic Modeling As part of the European Union's Water Framework Directive, surface waters in all EU member states must, by 2015, be identified as having a good status. In order to realize this goal of improving most European water bodies, the knowledge of flow and transport processes is absolutely necessary. These processes are decisive in the development of rivers and watercourses. sje has extensive experience in the field of river hydraulics and hydraulic modeling. In addition to conventional tasks like water level calculations and the dimensioning of hydraulic installations, sje also employs 1D- and 2D-models to investigate flow behavior from low flow conditions to flood situations. Ecohydraulics Investigations concerning river ecology are ever more oriented toward quantitative information and alternative prognoses. The rudiments of ecohydraulics, like those implemented in the habitat models, conform to the idea that structural and hydraulic characteristics of the surface water must be directly linked to requirements to maintain water life. In doing so, the possibility presents itself that suitable habitat may be dependent on discharge, but also to predict different scenerios of watercourse development. Such predictions are of greatest use for both ecological and economic optimization of hydraulic engineering projects. Renaturation In recent years the water quality in most surface waters has improved considerably, but now morphological and hydraulic deficits more clearly manifest themselves, that is to say that the impairments from the interaction of flow and structure of the watercourse have become evident. Individual measures like the removal of control structures, the sites of flat water zones, the relocation of dikes, the connection of old waterways and so on are all sensible improvement measures.

Hydro-electric power is electricity produced by the movement of fresh water from rivers and lakes. Gravity causes water to flow downwards and this downward motion of water contains kinetic energy, that can be converted into mechanical energy, and then from mechanical energy into electrical energy in hydro-electric power stations Hydropower hydropower is using water to power machinery or make electricity. Water constantly moves through a vast global cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans, forming clouds, precipitating as rain or snow, then flowing back down to the ocean. The energy of this water cycle, which is driven by the sun, can be tapped to produce electricity or for mechanical tasks like grinding grain

quick advanced Scroll down for the article Hydropower is responsible for 10 percent of the states electricity. Hydro Energy Hydro energy is electricity made using water. Sounds weird, right? Especially since it's dangerous to mix the two. The water never comes in contact with the electricity. How it works is, water flowing down a river is used to spin turbines inside a generator. Large rivers with fast flowing water work the best. Hydro Facts Canada is the largest producer of hydropower in the world. The United States is second. Hydropower is clean. It doesn't produce any greenhouse gases or other air pollution. It also doesn't generate any waste products that might need special handling or disposal. Because it's carbon-free energy, hydropower doesn't burn fossil fuels, which release the same amount of carbon dioxide as the annual exhaust of 62.2 million cars (half the cars on US roads.) With the good, comes the bad. Hydropower doesn't pollute the air but large hydroelectric generating stations can damage the environment. The natural flow of water to the sea can sometimes be changed, which harms plant and animal communities along the way. Like solar and wind energy , electricity from water is renewable. Water from rivers is a natural resource so it doesn't come with some of the problems other energy sources have, such as cost and insufficient amounts. Hydropower converts kinetic energy from falling water into electricity and never uses up more water than nature produces.

Hydro Potential of Texas River Systems Hydroelectric Power (Hydropower) Hydropower makes use of the kinetic energy water gains when it drops in elevation. Typically, water dammed in a lake or reservoir is released through turbines and generators to produce electricity. Hydropower has been a staple of electricity generation since the beginnings of the electric age. Historically, U.S. hydroelectric generation expanded until about 1975, but its share of the national electrical energy mix steadily declined from a peak of about 40% in the 1930's to approximately 10% today.

HYDROPOWER Although hydropower currently provides about one fifth of the world’s electricity supply, development of the world’s remaining technical potential could, by no means, cover the growth in future demand. However, carefully planned hydropower development can, and does, make a great contribution to improving electrical system reliability and stability throughout the world. Also, future development will play an important role in the improvement of living standards in the developing world, where the greatest hydropower potential still exists. This development, together with the existing installed hydropower capacity (some 700 GW), will make a substantial contribution to the avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions and the related climate change issues. Hydroelectricity, at present the most important of the clean, economically feasible, renewable energy options, can be a major benefit of a water resources development project; however, it is seldom the only benefit. Hydropower stations integrated within multipurpose schemes generally subsidise other vital functions of a project, such as irrigation, water supply, improved navigation, flood mitigation, recreational facilities, and so on. It is clear, therefore, that hydropower has an important role to play in the future, both in terms of energy supply and water resources development. As with all options, there is a need to develop the resources according to the highest social, environmental, economic and technical standards.

80. Hydropower hydropower (from hydro meaning water) is energy that comes from the force of hydropower is called a renewable energy source because it is replenished by http://lsa.colorado.edu/essence/texts/hydropower.htm

1. What Is Hydropower? Hydropower (from hydro meaning water) is energy that comes from the force of moving water. The fall and flow of water is part of a continuous natural cycle. The sun draws moisture up from the oceans and rivers, and the moisture then condenses into clouds in the atmosphere. The moisture falls as rain or snow, replenishing the oceans and rivers. Gravity drives the water, moving it from high ground to low ground. The force of moving water can be extremely great. Anyone who has been white water rafting knows that! Hydropower is called a renewable energy source because it is replenished by snow and rainfall. As long as the rain falls, we won't run out of this energy source. 2. History of Hydropower Hydropower has been used for centuries. The Greeks used water wheels to grind wheat into flour more than 2000 years ago. In the early 1800s, American and European factories used the water wheel to power machines. The water wheel is a simple machine. The water wheel picks up flowing water in buckets located around the wheel. The weight of the water causes the wheel to turn. Water wheels convert the kinetic energy (energy pertaining to motion) of water to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy can then be used to grind grain, drive sawmills, or pump water.
