water system
l
Data obtained from measurements during expeditions and on specially installed
stations.
l
Realization of these measurements required participation of specialized teams
and good coordination of their activity was necessary.
l
Several design decisions required calculations based on appropriate data and
special mathematical models were developed as well as studies on hydraulic
models were carried out.
l
Hydrothermal model was used to study the efficiency of designed cooling
system; hydraulic model was used to investigate the effect of the break-down
of the upper reservoir of pumped-storage power plant.
l
Mathematical model was developed to study heat exchange between water and
atmosphere for the discharge of cooling water to the lake.
l
Mathematical model was developed for the estimation of water balance of the
lake and tested for a particular year.
l
Field measurements and studies by means of hydraulic, hydrothermal, and
mathematical models required several years and a lot of effort.
