SuREmMa+ - Integrative economic and environmental assessment of measures for mitigating hydropeaking - hydraulic / morphological analysis
Abstract
In the course of the implementation of required hydropeaking mitigation measures in the next implementation period, a detailed planning of measures for individual storage power plants is necessary. The SuREmMa project provides a nationally applicable, scientifically proven evaluation tool in order to be able to assess and compare individual impact scenarios in the context of the Water Framework Directive from both, an ecological and energy-economical point of view at the reach and catchment level. The SuREmMa project developed a tool for assessing the ecological impact of man-made runoff fluctuations in the SuREmMa + project to: a) record the actual hydro-morphological status in impacted rivers, b) to define different scenarios in the context of potentially mitigation measures and c) to assess the expected environmental impact taking additional morphological measures into account. Moreover, in the case-by-case assessment in the context of the present project, the river-specific characteristics will be both discussed in detail, at the catchment level (e.g., unaffected hydrological conditions, sediment regime) and on the small-scale scale (eg spawning habitats, small-scale morphological structures), in order to derive the most efficient package of measures for hydropeaking mitigation. The obtained results should serve as a basis for the definition of the targeted status according to the EU Water Framework Directive.
