  2. Lec 4. Using HEMs to Estimate Costs and Benefits of Dams and Reservoirs • Water capture and storage • Managing variability and timing-of-use • Hydropower production • Flood-risk mitigation

  3. Water Capture and Storage • Reservoir captures peak inflows during snowmelt season • Stored water is then released at a slower rate later in the often drier irrigation season

  4. Hydropower Production • Electricity generated from both run-of-river and stored water reservoirs Run of river hydropower, Chief Joseph DamColumbia River, Bridgeport, Washington image source: http://bricglobal.co.uk/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/hydropower_plant.jpg image source: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Chief_Joseph_Dam.jpg
