and the relevant government agencies shall be verified by on-site measurements<br />
over an agreed time period and via computer simulation modeling. These flow<br />
data shall also be considered in the power computation and the design <strong>of</strong><br />
hydraulic structures. Flood flow, low flow and flow duration curve shall be<br />
computed by using different hydrological models. Sediment samples from<br />
riverbed shall be collected and mineralogical and particle size distribution<br />
analyses shall be carried out to find the type and percentage <strong>of</strong> mineral content<br />
and particle size distribution <strong>of</strong> the sediment. The quantity <strong>of</strong> sediment shall be<br />
estimated on the basis <strong>of</strong> sediment sampling data, if available, or with indirect<br />
methods. The expected maximum possible sediment particle that could be<br />
transported by flood shall be recorded during the field visits. Each component <strong>of</strong><br />
the selected project alternative will be optimized under different flows.<br />
<br />
<br />
Task 2 – Preliminary layouts <strong>of</strong> hydraulic structures, electro-mechanical and<br />
electrical equipment shall be developed and the selection <strong>of</strong> the main project<br />
characteristics such as installed capacity, energy production, capacity fac<strong>tor</strong>, etc<br />
shall be made.<br />
Task 3 - Energy computation (on a monthly basis) for optimum plant capacity<br />
shall be carried out. All applicable deductions like environmental release <strong>of</strong> flow,<br />
estimated outage, internal energy consumptions, transmission losses etc. shall be<br />
deducted from the gross plant energy estimate. Annual energy sales shall be<br />
calculated considering prevailing energy rates at the project area.<br />
<br />
Task 4 - The major socio-environmental impacts <strong>of</strong> the hydropower development<br />
during the construction and the exploitation phases shall be identified (following<br />
the existing ESEE Environmental and Social Frameworks) and appropriate<br />
mitigating measures shall be proposed.<br />
<br />
Task 5 – A preliminary costing <strong>of</strong> the project shall be carried out based on major<br />
quantities and cost items and a preliminary economic analysis and financial<br />
analysis carried out to assess the economic and financial viability <strong>of</strong> the<br />
