QUESTION $1(25)$

Due to the current challenge of power, you have been tasked to investigate

preliminarily the feasibility of constructing a small hydropower scheme $($power station$)$

in the catchment surrounding Kalkfontein Dam of South Africa. The elevation of the

site of construction is at the elevation of $85\%$ of the dam height. Assume that the

efficiency factor is $85\%$ and the volume of water released from the dam is $200\%$ of the

water volume $($equivalent to $0\mathrm{.}2$ megaliter in $2$ days$)$ that could be released at a given

site. The investigation is restricted to the power output generation associated with the

energy of the power station.
