Analysis of Water Flow Problems in the Hells Canyon Reach of the Snake River
The problems associated with water flow and operation of dams in the Hells Canyon area of the Snake River in Idaho were surveyed and possible solutions were examined. Conflicts between Idaho Power Company projects and plans for the Hells Canyon Recreation Area were reviewed with respect to timing and quantity of water needs. Also, population growth and irrigation development were assessed as future complicating factors. In view of agricultural and recreational uses increasing and the inflexibility of the Idaho Power Company's demands, some water shortages in the future are indicated. An analysis was performed on the possibility of building a reregulating dam below Hells Canyon dam. A simplified model was constructed to operate Brownlee storage reservoir and compute the electric energy that would be generated under various conditions.
