Measuring height drop (head)
• Abney level• Site level• Pressure gauge
![Page 7: Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International Studies Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a69d855034643688b4e3d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Abney level (the method we’ll be using today)

Hose & Pressure Gauge• Accurate and simple method.• Bubbles in hose cause errors.• Gauge must have suitable scale and be calibrated.• Use hose a measuring tape for penstock length.• Feet head = PSI x 2.31

Measuring Flow
• Bucket Method• Float Methoddesign flow = 50% of dry-season flow
![Page 11: Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International Studies Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a69d855034643688b4e3d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bucket Method(probably the method we’ll be using today)
![Page 12: Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International Studies Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a69d855034643688b4e3d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Float Method
Flow = area x average stream velocity
![Page 13: Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International Studies Introduction to Microhydro 15 Apr 2012 Monterey Institute for International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a69d855034643688b4e3d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Civil Works – some golden rules
• Think floods, landslides
• Think dry-season.• Try to remove
sediment• Maximize head,
minimize penstock– “wire is cheaper than
pipe”

A Sluice allows sediment removal.

Screens• Screen mesh-size should be half the nozzle diameter.• A self-cleaning screen design is best.• The screen area must be relatively large.

• It may be less expensive to run low pressure pipe or a channel to a short penstock.

Forebay (Silt basin)• Located before penstock• Large cross-sectional area, volume Water velocity reduced
sediment (heavier than water but easily entrained in flow) has opportunity to drop out.

Penstocks• A vent prevents vacuum collapse of the penstock.• Valves that close slowly prevent water hammer.• Anchor block – prevents penstock from moving

Locating the Powerhouse• Power house must be above flood height.• Locate powerhouse on inside of stream bends.• Use natural features for protection.
