HYDROELECTRIC POWER AND DROUGHT

Hydroelectric power (often called hydropower) is considered a renewable energy source. A renewable energy source is one that is not depleted (used up) in the production of energy. Through hydropower, the energy in falling water is converted into electricity without “using up” the water.

Hydropower energy is ultimately derived from the sun, which drives the water cycle. In the water cycle, rivers are recharged in a continuous cycle. Because of the force of gravity, water flows from high points to low points. There is kinetic energy embodied in the flow of water.

Humans first learned to harness the kinetic energy in water by using waterwheels. A waterwheel is a revolving wheel fitted with blades, buckets, or vanes. Waterwheels convert the kinetic energy of flowing water to mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy is a form of kinetic energy, such as in a machine. Mechanical energy has the ability to do work. Any object that is able to do work has mechanical energy.

Early waterwheels used mechanical energy to grind grains and to drive machinery such as sawmills and blacksmith equipment.

Not long after the discovery of electricity, it was realized that a turbine’s mechanical energy could be used to activate a generator and produce electricity. The first hydroelectric power plant was constructed in 1882 in Appleton, Wisconsin. It produced 12.5 kilowatts of electricity which was used to light two paper mills and one home.

How a Hydroelectric Power System Works - Part 1 Flowing water is directed at a turbine (remember turbines are just advanced waterwheels). The flowing water causes the turbine to rotate, converting the water’s kinetic energy into mechanical energy.

The mechanical energy produced by the turbine is converted into electric energy using a turbine generator. Inside the generator, the shaft of the turbine spins a magnet inside coils of copper wire. It is a fact of nature that moving a magnet near a conductor causes an electric current. How a Hydroelectric Power System Works – Part 2

The amount of electricity that can be generated by a hydropower plant depends on two factors: flow rate - the quantity of water flowing in a given time; and head - the height from which the water falls. The greater the flow and head, the more electricity produced. How much electricity can be generated by a hydroelectric power plant?

When more water flows through a turbine, more electricity can be produced. The flow rate depends on the size of the river and the amount of water flowing in it. Power production is considered to be directly proportional to river flow. That is, twice as much water flowing will produce twice as much electricity. Flow Rate = the quantity of water flowing

The farther the water falls, the more power it has. The higher the dam, the farther the water falls, producing more hydroelectric power. Power production is also directly proportional to head. That is, water falling twice as far will produce twice as much electricity. Head = the height from which water falls

It is important to note that when determining head, hydrologists take into account the pressure behind the water. Water behind the dam puts pressure on the falling water.

Tall dams are sometimes referred to as “high-head” hydropower systems. That is, the height from which water falls is relatively high. High-head Hydropower

Many smaller hydropower systems are considered “low- head” because the height from which the water falls is fairly low. Low-head hydropower systems are generally less than 20 feet high. Low-head Hydropower

Flowing water is directed at a turbine which (inside the generator) spins a magnet inside coils of copper wire. This produces an electric current. Part One Review How a Hydropower System Works

Small Hydropower Small hydropower facilities can produce 100 – 30,000 kilowatts (kW) of electricity. Small hydropower facilities may involve a small dam, or be a diversion of the main stream, or be a run-of-the-river system.

Drought Characteristics, Causes Drought characteristics, Causes and Prediction

Characteristics of the current drought The drought is severe. Precipitation Percentiles - Past 12 months Pinks - 1-2% Reds - 2-5% Orange % In parts of the country, this is a 50 to 100 year event. Drought characteristic 1 - Severe

Drought Causes Are the tropical oceans playing an important role? Evolution of tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures Two key features: Prolonged La Niña conditions Long-term warming of Indian Ocean-west Pacific “warm pool” Drought causes El Niño La Niña onset La Niña ends

Drought - damages Direct  loss of income  social dislocation Indirect  famine/malnutrition/death Indirect  loss of rural and urban revenues  fire hazard, loss of water access

Drought: “a protracted period of deficient precipitation resulting in extensive damage to crops, resulting in loss of yield” Hazard profile:  slow onset  prolonged duration  widespread
