Hydro Review: Dam safety updates after Helene

Plus, southeast U.S. dams 'stable and secure'

State-of-the-art Atlas Polar HYDRORAKE Trash Rake systems keep intakes clean of debris and assure consistent, uninterrupted water flow – even in the most extreme weather conditions.
Scalable and flexible, they sequence to almost any flow or condition on each intake and are customizable to virtually any gauge or bar rack. The trusted #1 debris removal system for over 40 years, HYDRORAKE’s automated 24/7 operation is proven highly efficient, reliable, safer and cost-effective across North America.

If we never adapted to new technology, we’d still be using an abacus to calculate math! Upgrade your turbine sealing face from Carbon to Thordon’s SXL Elastomeric Polymer and:

  • Reduce Seal Leakage
  • Extend Seal Operating Life
  • Install with Ease
Representatives originally pushed for the bill's provisions after the 2020 Edenville Dam and Sanford Dam failures in Michigan caused $200 million in damage throughout the region’s downstream communities, destroying homes, businesses, roads, and bridges.
Following Hurricane Helene's destructive path., multiple dams in the southeastern U.S. were threatened by rising water levels.

Bentley commissioned a global survey of industry experts to understand condition monitoring trends and practices for dams. They learned that collecting data for monitoring dam conditions is now mostly automated. That shift provides some unexpected benefits, with dam owners reporting that automation enables them to penetrate new markets and execute more projects—often with leaner teams. Learn more about the state of the industry and what leaders are doing to gain a competitive advantage.

The Klamath River Renewal Corporation reported the complete removal of the four hydroelectric plants and dams on the lower Klamath River in California and Oregon. Kiewit, the dam removal contractor hired by KRRC to complete the construction elements of the project, has finished all work in the river.
DOE’s Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) selected these projects, which could help to accelerate the growth of water power innovation and technology. 
At least 20 hydropower facilities in Nepal have been affected by floods and landslides, reducing the country's electricity production by at least 1,100 MW
Overall, the net loss attributable to Manitoba Hydro of $157 million for the 2023-24 fiscal year was comprised of a net loss of $135 million in the electric segment, a net loss of $34 million in the natural gas segment and net income of $12 million from other segments, including Manitoba Hydro International.
Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy established the Eklutna fish and wildlife program, which will restore year-round water flows and may include pumped storage hydro.
Except for central Montana, which received greater than 150% of normal precipitation in a few days during late September, widespread areas of the upper Missouri River Basin received less than 25% of normal precipitation.
