A methodology is described to evaluate the residual hydropower potential in Italy, taking into account the current demand on water resources (irrigation, drinking water, existing hydropower). The model applied uses a numerical technique coupled with a GIS, the hydrological and physiographic characteristics of nearly 1500 interconnected sub-basin, and rainfall maps. Maps of water resources availability and the related maximum hydropower potential have been produced and are fond to be quite helpful tools to support power authorities, decision makers and other stakeholders in creating Energy masterplans, and in implementing small hydro plants.

Abstract

A methodology is described to evaluate the residual hydropower potential in Italy, taking into account the current demand on water resources (irrigation, drinking water, existing hydropower). The model applied uses a numerical technique coupled with a GIS, the hydrological and physiographic characteristics of nearly 1500 interconnected sub-basin, and rainfall maps. Maps of water resources availability and the related maximum hydropower potential have been produced and are fond to be quite helpful tools to support power authorities, decision makers and other stakeholders in creating Energy masterplans, and in implementing small hydro plants.
