Table $1$: Water allocation strategy for different drought levels

$4\mathrm{.}2$ RECOMMENDED STEPS

Step $1$

Use Google Earth Pro to view the dam and hydro power plant. Draw out power plant layout and

label accordingly

Step $2$

Take the flow data and calculate average daily flows. Draw out frequency duration curve using

the average daily flows. Calculate $90\%,95\%,96\%,98\%$ and $99\%$ exceedance average daily flow

rates

Estimate firm discharge

Step $3$

View the topographic survey contours and data in QGIS. Note the FSL and IL$.$ Produce a map

showing the FSL$,$ IL and the rest of the contour lines

Use the topographic survey data to determine the dam characteristics $($elevation versus storage

and elevation versus area$)$

Determine the full supply storage capacity $($FSC$)$ and full supply area $($FSA$)$ of a dam

Calculate gross head $(Ha)$ and available drawdown $(Hg)$

Step $4$

Use Google Earth Pro and QGIS to determine the abstraction point to provide the same gross head

with a run$-$of$-$river hydro power plan
