The CEATI Hydro program brings together over 50 of the world’s leading hydropower organizations.

The Water Management Interest Group
As a result of today’s competitive energy market and increased concerns regarding the environment, hydropower operators must develop business strategies to maximize availability and profitability of their plants to gain competitive advantages.

The scope of the Water Management Interest Group (WMIG) is to focus on the development of methods & tools required to optimize hydraulic processes while maintaining safe and environmentally-friendly operations.

Topics of interest include watershed management and water use planning, meteorological forecasting (water, ice, flow), operational modeling (benchmarking and performance measurement), data acquisition techniques, and impact assessment (flow, environmental requirements).

The WMIG will be meeting on November 18, 2009 in Atlanta prior to the workshop. If you are a hydroelectric utility and have interest in participation, please contact CEATI.
