"Planning & Design of Hydropower Headworks in Sediment Loaded Rivers"
The International workshop jointly organised by Hydro Lab, Nepal and International Centre for Hydropower (ICH), Norway was successfully completed. The workshop was conducted from 03 - 08 November 2022. The opening session, chaired by Mr. Shiva Kumar Sharma, Chairman Hydro Lab, was started with the welcome speech from Dr. Meg B. Bishwakarma, General Manager, Hydro Lab. The programme was addressed by Mr. Tom Solberg, Project Director, ICH and the special guest, Ms. Torun Dramdal, Ambassador, Royal Norwegian Embassy. Finally, the opening session was completed with the key note lecture from Prof. Dr. Haakon Støle, Sediment Systems, Norway.
Are you developing hydropower/water resources projects in steep sediment-loaded Himalayan Rivers? If yes, feel free to contact us. We can assist you in preventing from investment failure by carrying out physical hydraulic model studies. Hydro Lab is the only research organisation in Nepal having experience and expertise in physical hydraulic model studies. Hydro Lab welcomes developers, engineers, researchers, bankers and investors to visit the lab. Our past and on going works are ready for demonstration. Hydro Lab has expertise in sediment studies, hydro turbine efficiency measurement and hydrometry.
Why Physical Hydraulic Model Study
It is a well established and widely accepted fact among the hydraulic engineering professionals that the physical hydraulic scale model test is not only a choice but an essential tool for testing hydraulic structures before its construction due to its ability to solve complex hydraulic problems which otherwise cannot be solved analytically or computer modelling even with modern computing facility. The main objectives of physical hydraulic model study are:
Similarly, the main advantages of physical hydraulic modelling are:
