With lot of glaciers and Rivers, western Himalayan States like J&K, Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh has a lot of potential in Hydro Power. Himachal Pradesh with the aggregate geological area of 55673sqkm is the eighteenth state of Union of India. Himachal Pradesh with an exceptionally ...
It is being developed on a build-own-operate and transfer (BOOT) basis by Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) Arun 3 Power Development Company (SAPDC), a joint venture of the Government of India and the Government of Himachal Pradesh.
The hydropower plant was constructed and commissioned ahead of schedule, resulting in lower project costs. Out of eight projects allocated by the government of Himachal Pradesh, Malana is the only project to be completed ahead of time. Malana hydropower plant. (Photo: Statkraft) The company is ...
Large hydropower projects in upstream areas reduce the frequency and magnitude of floods downstream, and benefit downstream communities; but these changes may also negatively affect downstream soil fertility and crop productivity in the long run (Table 2). In Pakistan, a recent study [53] found ...
This study focuses on the Uttarakhand state in the Western Himalayas, where hydroelectric projects (HEPs) have significantly altered river flow regimes. The research investigates the impact of flow alterations on the composition and structure of riparian vegetation in the Garhwal Himalayas, specifically ...
