Project Introduction:
 Project Location: Lama Bagar, Eastern Nepal
Nature of Headworks Site: Boulder and gravel bed river
Project type: Daily peaking run-of- river 310 MW hydropower
Model Study Year: 2004 - 2005
Client: Nepal Electricity Authority
Consultant: Norconsult AS Norway
Model Scale: 1:60
Model type: Mobile bed and undistorted
Objective:
This study had two objectives. They were:
- To test the sustainability of daily peaking reservoir by sediment flushing from weir gates.
- To test the performance of headworks components such as intake, bed load sluice, trash sluice and settling basins in respect of hydraulics and sediment.
 Achievement:
The achievements from the model test are:
- The model test ensured that the storage in the upstream of the diversion weir is sustainable subject to proper headworks operation.
- The model test verified the satisfactory performance of designed headworks with minor modification.
