Energy and Water: Sustainable Development - Proceedings of Theme D - Water for a Changing Global Community - The 27th Congress of the International ... Held in San Francisco, CA, August 10-15, 1997

This proceedings, ""Energy and Water: Sustainable Development"", contains papers presented at the 27th Congress of The International Association for Hydraulic Research (IAHR) entitled ""Water for a Changing Global Community."" These papers explore applications of hydraulic research to situations where natural waters are involved in the production or use of energy. Due to the continuously increasing demands on water use, new hydraulic analysis techniques that have proven successful within the current constraints associated with energy production and natural water usage are discussed. These techniques are explored within these topics: advances in computerized hydraulics; tidal and wave energy production; hydropower operations and optimization; pumping station operations and optimization; dam safety; management of reservoir releases; management of reservoir sedimentation; and fish passage.
