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 />
