This presentation generally focuses on the pros and cons of hydroelectric power. The visuals and creativity is really high. Moreover a brief on HEP in Pakistan is also taken into account. Thing is, I've given less detail- for the sake of making it look professional. More examples are given below
So basically creating hydropower plants is pretty fantastic for the country as is lead to employment. Hydropower plants create vacancies for managers, technicians, construction workers, marketers, receptionists and many more.
The U.S. hydropower industry currently employs up to 300,000 workers,
In Pakistan the tarbela dam project created about 2500 different jobs from project development to facilities operations and maintenance. which is pretty amazing considering the unemployment problems in Pakistan.
Another benefit of dams is that they not only produce electricity but also saves and reserves water so that the water is not wasted into oceans and seas. So it is like two advantages in a single packet!
Dams can also be used for other purposes like fishing and sports for example by the creation of recreational parks which would bring in
Tourists!
Mega hydropower plants can invite tourists and other machinery enthusiasts to visit the stations and learn some tit-bits about how they function.
The three gorges the largest hydropower plant in the world bought in a crazy number of over 2 million tourists in 2015 brining in 3.5 billion US dollars.
This money in turn benefits the overall economy and GDP of a country and can really turn things around in a third world country like Pakistan.
Thank you!!!

This application note introduces the theory and technology behind small hydroelectric power (SHP) stations (defined as units below 10 MW). The note gives a detailed discussion of the basics of SHP, the types of equipment, turbines and generators in use, the selection and assessment of suitable sites, planning and licensing requirements, financing, and economic justification. It includes a decision-making checklist and covers the environmental aspects and requirements for small hydroelectric projects, such as the provision of fish bypasses.
2013 Poster Session, Changes in Agriculture Irrigation in the S. Platte River...GIS in the Rockies
Irrigated agriculture is in decline in Colorado’s South Platte River Basin (SPRB). Land use is transitioning from farms to urban, suburban and industrial areas. Irrigation water rights are being transferred from agricultural to municipal and industrial uses to support growing urban water demand. The SPRB has been the epicenter of Colorado’s urban growth and thus, agricultural to urban water right transfers, which has reduced the amount of irrigated area in the river basin and is changing Colorado’s rural landscape.
Colorado’s Statewide Water Supply Initiative (2011) estimated that the current population in the SPRB may increase from 3.5 million to 6.6 million in 2050. To meet increased municipal and industrial water demands, an additional 510,000 acre-feet per year will likely be needed in the SPRB resulting in a projected reduction of up to 267,000 acres of irrigated agricultural lands.
While future loss in irrigated agriculture has been projected, analyses of past changes in irrigation in the SPRB have been limited. Using irrigated lands data from the Colorado's Decision Support Systems we examined how irrigated acreage has changed from 1956 to 2005. In 1956, the SPRB was home to approximately 982,000 acres of irrigated agricultural lands. By 2005, over 150,000 acres of irrigated agriculture have been lost and much was the result of agricultural to urban water rights transfers and changes in land use. What will the SPRB look like in the coming decades?"

ROBERT FROST “THE ROAD NOT TAKEN”
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Abstract
Introduction

Tyler (Wind Energy)
One form of alternative energy is wind energy. Just as it sounds, the wind formed from
the uneven heating of the surface of the earth. Energy from wind as actually been harnessed for
millennia as it was used for sailing large ships in the exploration of the world, windmills used for
various applications, and today we are beginning to use wind for electrical generation. One must
look at the advantages, disadvantages, environmental impacts, and the community’s perception
to see if this technology is worthwhile in our search for alternative energy.
Wind energy is collected on the individual and large-scale levels. Typically, the
homeowner, farmer, or small business complements their use of energy from the grid with the
use of wind energy. A great example of this is City Bus in Lafayette, Indiana. According to
Northern Power Systems, since the installation in July 2011, the windmills at City Bus have
generated 679,292 kilowatt hours which translates to 52,253 gallons of diesel saved or 991,766
miles driven by cars (City Bus, 2011). Also according to Northern Power Systems, City Bus has
saved 1,060,714 pounds of carbon dioxide waste. It seems that these windmills are doing an
effective job of supplementing City Bus’s use of energy.
Consumption of wind energy is much different at the large scale level though. According
to the Institute for Energy Research, only 4.4% of electrical generation in the U.S. is wind
energy (Wind – IER, 2015). So why is wind energy such a small part of electrical generation in
the United States? According to the slide set from EAPS 375 on July 29, 2015, only about a
third of the continental United States has sustainable land for wind energy (Ballotti, 2015). The
land that appears usable is the Great Plains region (central continental U.S.), places throughout
the Appalachian Mountains, and the shorelines of both the East Coast and West Coast.
Considering that electrical generation from wind is a fairly new technology, 4.4% of total
electrical generation seems to be correct.
The place of wind energy for electrical generation in the United States is much debated
though. Some advocates place wind energy at the top of the list, as it is truly renewable. Wind
will never stop as there will always be an uneven heating of the Earth’s surface. Unfortunately
the power that wind has is not concentrated, so harnessing that energy is a difficult task. The
most used technology today is the conventional wind turbine, a large white (typically) tower with
three large blades that spin a generator which produces electricity and is then sent down the
tower into the electrical grid (Ballotti, 2015). There are many other technologies that are around,
most are in the developmental stages though. According to the American Wind Energy
Association, there are over 49,000 windmills in the United States which represent around
67,870 megawa.

Citron Olive Farm Presentation September 2010CliftonHasegawa
Citron Olive Farms is a sustainable agricultural community dedicated to bringing 100% organic premium quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh organic produce and products to the market place.
1. Citron Hydro Power
Clifton M. Hasegawa & Associates, LLC is
devoted to the development of renewable
energy.
Abundant sun and wind and channeled water are
natural resources for the production of
electricity.
CitronSolarFarm was our first operating
division. CitronWind our second.
CitronHydroPower is our operating division
devoted and dedicated to water conservation;
protecting and maintaining the viability and productivity of our aquifers; ground and surface
water resources; keeping our watersheds from being lost to invasive flora and fauna; and to
harness the power of channeled water to provide energy for our Community.
Hawaii has several hydropower plants located on the Islands of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui. They
have furnished power to sugar mills and the three island utility companies for many years.
The Wailuku River Hydroelectric Power Company plant began producing electricity in May
1993. The plant took five years to complete and $30 million to plan and build and located on
state conservation land about five miles from Hilo. A diversion channel and three miles of five-
foot diameter pipe (penstock) provide rushing water for the plant's two turbines.
Our contribution is through the use and installation of hydroturbines, in existing channels and
penstock. Minimal and nominal impact to our precious and challenged natural environment is
our purpose and mission.
We understand and are sensitive to environmental, community, and cultural concerns.
We strive to advocate and implement knowledge-based, innovative, collaborative solutions and
be a value-added part of our Community.
