Sediment Management in RoR Hydropower Projects, 2022
An international workshop with the theme “Planning & Design of Hydropower Headworks in Sediment Loaded Rivers” was organised at Kathmandu, Nepal on 03 - 08 November 2022. The workshop was jointly organized by Hydro Lab, Nepal and International Centre for Hydropower (ICH), Norway. It was the tenth workshop in a series jointly organized by Hydro Lab and ICH since 2001, including one workshop at Chhukha, Bhutan.
The workshop was attended by 22 participants from 3 different countries namely Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The participants were professionals from different governmental and private organizations including developers, consultants and researchers.
The weeklong workshop began with lectures conducted by the experienced professionals from academic institutions, hydropower developers, research organizations and consulting firms, who shared their experiences on various topics related to the main theme of the workshop. The participants were also given an opportunity to present and share their experience during group presentations. Additionally, group exercises were also conducted during the training session.
