Environmental issues and small-scale hydroelectric development
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5928198
Some potential environmental issues that may affect small scale hydroelectric development and what site or project characteristics influence the significance of adverse impact are discussed and some impressions on how environmental issues should be factored into small scale hydroelectric project development are provided. Four generic environmental issues that may be the most difficult to deal with are discussed. These are: need for upstream flow and downstream passage of fish species around dams, effects of water level fluctuation and instream flow alterations, water quality, and environmental effects by dredging.
