Title: Evaluation of possible temperature fluctuations from proposed power modifications at hoover dam. Technical report no. 3 (final)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6593042

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is considering several alternatives for modifying Hoover Dam's existing hydroelectric facilities or adding new facilities in the Lake Mead Recreation Area to increase peak-power output. This specific report is to determine to what extent discharge temperature from Hoover Dam and thermal stratification in Lake Mead would chance with discharges under the following conditions: (1) all four intakes on the upper gates (2) all four intakes on the lower gates and (3) from a combined use of one upper gate and four lower gates.
