Water, Watts, and Wilds Hydropower and Competing Uses in New England.

Abstract

This report concludes a three year Hydropower Expansion Study conducted by the New England River Basins Commission. Basic objectives of the study were: to assess the feasibility of developing hydropower facilities at existing dams and undeveloped sites throughout the New England region; to clarify competing use issues which arise from the competition between hydropower development and other uses of water resources, and to assess the likelihood that conflicts would arise from such competition; and to provide information and data which will facilitate either the avoidance or resolution of competing use conflicts. The key findings from the study are summarized.
