Feasibility Case Studies

 

Kaituna Hydro Schemes  

Preliminary hydrological, geotechnical and civil engineering investigations for a cascade of proposed hydro-electric power stations along the Kaituna River, Bay of Plenty.

The study included the analysis and correlation of available hydrological records to derive ‘natural’ and power station generation flow records at the proposed power station sites.
